It is (was) a popular card, and there are many out there. If we run into a 1600, we explain to the person what is wrong, we could even "tune" their system for a 150 card and then send them back to the store where they got it. Let's try it like this and see what noise we get. md _______________________________________________ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org/
