I got the impression that the people there know exactly what they are doing and do very good engineering work. It is not the card to blame but the driver. And the driver can only be as good as people are giving (immediate) feedback _and_ are trying to debug and fix a broken or buggy driver. I have no idea what causes this, but i will put my Winbond card in a live system and see if i can debug the driver (although i will not be able to do this before two weeks from now: sorry, but i have a life in a parallel universe called "real world" going on ...). There is no reason why the Winbond based cards should not work flawlessly once they are debugged. Other hardware drivers are now two or three years old whereas the Winbond driver is very new. Many people have fixed and contributed to other drivers, noone did so far for the Winbond driver; in fact this is almost the first report for it. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@kts.org Hamburg, Europe We all live in a yellow subroutine, yellow subroutine, yellow subroutine ...
