This only happens when the transfer is going faster then 10MB/s (like a wide cappella or atlas), so a narrow device shouldn't show this problem. Single bit errors are almost always ram or cache problems. The driver supports full parity checking on its data up to the point that it is transfered to host memory, so I don't think this is the driver's fault. >-- >Mark Murray >46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa >+27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200 >Finger mark@grumble.grondar.za for PGP key -- Justin T.
