Your way of gathering information without even knowing the basics probably won't help much then.

An FDC-reported ``CRC error in data field'' is just what the FDC is telling me. I don't see why you're blaming the driver for being blind-eyed if it just believes what the FDC is telling. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
