For another data point ...
I had the identical problem with my bronze card (flash briefly). I got one
of the silver cards and plugged it in, and it just worked with my existing
Bronze 4.0 driver and application. I didn't need to update either the
silver card firmware or the driver SW. This is on NT 4.0.
Cheers,
Andy
