A card for testing would be extremely helpful but also an obligation. ;-) Especially if someone else bought it for me. If you could wait before buying the cards a bit longer? I'd like to take a look at the Utah code first. BTW, I just tried to find somewhere to buy a Savage IX card here in Germany. I couldn't find anything, not even on Ebay. I only found a few Savage4 and lots of S3 Trios. :-/ Hope you have better luck.
