Understood.  Thanks for your reply.

I will do that.  As I mentioned to another off-list responder, I have
to admit that I hadn't noticed that 6.2 had been released.  It seemed
to be permanently stuck in beta.

Indeed, the disk timeout seems like a bug that might have been fixed.

Do you know, though, whether there is any way in NEWCARD to power down
the PC Card / Cardbus slot?  I didn't see anything in the 6.2 release
note regarding changes in that area.
