And I don't really use the floppy that much either...

Arggghhh :-) First its too slow, then its too fast... Is this the argument
that controls that: ft_fdc_rate_limit=XXXX ???
I tried setting it to 500 and it didn't make a bit of difference. Is that
the correct one to use to reduce the speed of the card?
Thanks for all your help. Looks like it'll be another week before the card
arrives... Counting the days...
