Hmm, i cannot compare it right now against the M1A card here... I didn't get that impression when actively using it ages ago. It always talked to the target on the first request. Perhaps it's also a question of who's been assembling the card, it's one of the most often cloned cards, i think. OTOH, you can use AK47 cards even in lousy environments, without cooling and cleaning, it won't get worse from such circumstances. :-) -- 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. ;-)
