I had the same problem on my 512 Mb card. I removed the 512 card and inserted the 64 Mb card I had been using previously. The contents are still on the 64 Mb card. Do I have to reformat this card to make use of the beta firmware? Also, how can I reformat the 512 Mb card? I read procedure for correcting card problem, but I don't have any card reader/write than the bookport. Thanks for any help.

Actually, I still haven't gotten to the software yet because since I've installed the firmware the unit will only read the directory over and over. The only way I can stop this behavior is to remove the batteries. When I put them back in, it starts all over again. No key or key combination has any effect except the reset command, 2B. When I hit that, it says defaults restored book port 1.1 test 7 ready and then continues looping the directory information. I'm using a win 2k system here at home but have XP at work. Perhaps I should try it there. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm going through withdrawal without the thing. Lou > >
