You might do better to read back on the emails ... the hardware fix is the kludge in my view - it is on one of the clock lines. They did this early on, and it did have an effect. THEN they found that it was improved by only clocking the SD card when neccessary (i.e., access). Then lastly, they discovered that the clock drive was set too high (max).
Once they had all the info, all the fixes were in (cap, correct drive and SD card clocking on on access), things were good. The cap seems to have an effect, but is minor compared to the others, but its "in the system" so stayed. The majority of earlier FR's dont have it (including mine) and work fine. Oh, and if you really want it, there's a SOP laying out how to add it yourself. Going from memory for the above, but it should be largely right.
