OK, I did not remember reading that anyone tried moving the cards far
apart. Then it it is not so sure anylonger if it has something to do with
cards sitting next to each other :(

Unfortunatly I don't have any experience with cvs, except inputting the 2
commands most Sites "recommend" to get the current version. Could you send
the changes to me here ? Or the appropiate commands to get those versions.
Otherwise I will have a look at cvs next time I find some time.

OK, I did not have the "video data stream broken" yet and from my readings
I thought to understand that if you  use "hw_sections=1" then you get that
error more offen or instead of the UPT !?. And the UPT is then gone.

OK, keep up the good work :)
