Yes.

I wasted time and money helping someone with this drive.

It wouldn't work on his PC with the 1505. It worked on my PC with my
1540CF. But it also worked on my PC with the 1505!

When I say worked, I mean the drive was seen and appeared to work. But
got a good sollection of coasters at a fiver a time :-((

I'd go for a new drive rather than a new card, given my experience of
that model, but if it has worked for you up till now...
