Not having or wanting a credit card, those are out of reach to me...8^(
On another topic, i seem to recall that some Newt models (IIRC the 2x00
MPs, or the ones capable of using 5/12v cards) generate a higher than
normal voltage spike on the pc card power rails when or after hard-reset.
As to the purpose of this spike, it should IIRC wake up some modem
types from sleep mode or some such, but AFAIK this can actually damage some
card types, especially the 5/5v flash types, as well as some modem cards.
Could someone of our hardware specialists clear up the gory details and add
this to the FAQ?
Meanwhile, for want of better knowledge, i'll pull any cards before hard-
resetting.
regards,
-- Wolf
