I got the same messages that you got when I tried the latest version 
from cesdis.  My friend who is also cursed with the same card has similar 
problems.  Currently, I am using v0.30, which still seems to work.  I get
occasionally transmitter timeouts, but they don't usually kill the machine.

Other settings to check are whether your card is set for "Normal" or "Maximize
Network" in the diskette configuration.
