I have a 20MB card (actually it's an Inten 2+ 16MB one, but it takes 20MB,
mysteriously) that will fail with pleasure after leaving it in during a
reset of the MP2,1K.
I take great care to take it out before resetting, always using cardeject if
possible.
The card does not fail entirely, but starts to produce errors, and has to be
wiped completely.
Sad thing if you have a single 3,5MB pkg you need... I could use my 4MB card
(never failed, but I only reset it in a MP130), but I don't want to have one
backup in my drawer...maybe I should get a 6/8MB card...

Regards,

Oliver :)
