> Have you tried heating / cooling the card and changing the supply > voltage to the limits? No, I haven't. I can try things like that when it fails. Changing the card supply is going to mean adding an interface as I think 1.8V won't register as a High even if PIC Vcc is as low as 3.0V. d/s says 0.8 * Vcc I believe I'm within speed spec @ 3V3 (which does tend to be for the lower speed range) but I'll be double-checking the card's mode registers to confirm that. As I mentioned to Christopher though, you'd think a power cycle would restore the system to another 18+ hours of operation, not just a few minutes, if this was a signal or synch problem Joe ----- No virus found in this message.
