[LRFlex] Re: A question for the 20D users. With Lexar cards

G'mornin Slobodan!

Sorry to hear of your problems.  I've been using the 1 gb 80x cards, and they 
seem fine. 

I am curious - you say "it was the older crash and burn version with the last 
four 4A6B "

What does the "4A6B" refer to? I can find no such numbers on my cards... they 
simply say "P/N 2389, REv. A"

Thanks. And good luck with Lexar!

David.
