Then again the Ultra-Plus seems have two programing modes, a temporary and long term configuration. I say this because if you use the DOS "ezsetup" software and configure the card the settings are permanent and if you change the settings via the "diagnose" program, the settings are not permanent but last for until rebooted. Maybe something got placed in the nonpermanent confirguration section of the card. --mark.
