Don; I also put my lables in the upper left corner with the ridge facing down and away from me. This is just how it would go in to the machine. Think of the CF card laying on the table, ridge on the table, at the top or away from you put the lable in the upper left corner use dimo tape

This person said that this can happen if you force the card into the slot upside down and strongly suggested that I mark all my cf cards so I know which is the top side. After this conversation I did notice that the ones I have do have a slight ridge on the underside of the card where it sticks out of the bn so you can tell which is the top in which is the underside. This may be unique to this brand though which I think is Sandisk, so you might consider putting some sort of small label towards the outer edge of the card so there's no possibility it could get stuck in the bn. The Ambicom wireless card has a ridge around the top side so it's quite easy to identify it's correct position. I haven't had the slot break, but have accidently tried putting the card in upside down a few times and gotten the "card not recognized" message. But, if you are careful, and especially if you make certain to put the card in correctly you should not have a problem. The sad thing is that all it takes is one time doing it incorrectly and pushing a bit too hard. I'm sure this warning goes for both the pk and bn and probably any other device which uses a cf card.
