Alright, we’ve gotten the bugs worked out of the PIC, FPGA 19 version of Snowmass is wooing us with its sweetness and openness and, well, I won’t wax too much here. Suffice it to say this is the single biggest upgrade to DirectStream in the 5 year history of the product. DSJ upgrade for Snowmass wil…

Wow, if that isn’t ironic. I’m at the vegetarian clinic getting my hot-dog exiled.

For sure the cards must be the problem. I found a “no brand” 2GB card and formatted it with my Macbook, and this time it all went fine.
