I am using the Sandisk Ultra II 2 gig cards without issues on all of my Net5501's.. I had tried other cards and had some issues with detection or the card coming off line while the system was running.. but thus far no issues in 6 months with the Ultra II's..

It may or may not solve your problem. I have a Sandisk card that I bought from Soekris that does not work on a net5501. You can also buy bad knock off copies of Sandisk on ebay. I've been pretty successful using Transcend media. Darrick On 07/28/2010 06:22 AM, Tom Chadwin wrote: > OK, I thought it might be that.
