I have experienced very few problems with it. I just wish it was larger. I expect that I will be able to fix that in the near future. It is just the ticket for use with the MTC-shell since it let's me put the compiler temp files and some of the common utilities outside of main memory. You are correct about using system ram. It will allow this but I don't recommend it since the system image will be corrupted by bad code. The external memory will not be munged however and a reboot will install the driver and your files will still be intact. Bill Wood
