The software fix is better than the capacitor because it works on all lines to the card, not just the clock. With just the capacitor on the clock line the other lines may give enough interference to upset the GPS during card access. That's my translation anyway. Another question - might the added capacitor on the clock line cause problems with the lower drive strength that's now default? _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
