There is a problem with 5501's failing to detect CF cards some of the time, especially on reboots. This has bit a number of people, including me this last weekend. For low volume you might want to stick to 4801's, although they are getting harder to find. If you need a 5501 you might want to wait for the next BIOS upgrade. -- John Stalker School of Mathematics Trinity College Dublin tel +353 1 896 1983 fax +353 1 896 2282
