I have bought for that error an extra Ultra, so i normally prefer the normal Elite cards. But i can't reproduce this error on any machine here. But this problem was already reported by many persons. It looks like the SMC Ultra's have some problems. Even SMC has not ended to sell you the normal Elite 16 cards if you want them :-). -- ATS ( ats@first.gmd.de or ats@cs.tu-berlin.de ) Andreas Schulz GMD-FIRST 12489 Berlin-Adlershof Rudower Chaussee 5 Gebaeude 13.7 Tel: +49-30-6392-1856 Germany/Europe
