"Invalid card data" 48sx
Message #1 Posted by KWK on 17 Apr 2005, 9:49 a.m.

Is there anything else I can do to get a hp 128ram card to work in my 48sx, by pressing purple/left shift-LIBRARY. port0 / port2 are my softkeys.

Hit NXT, then the PINIT is not an option for me. Any ideas pls.

Because the 48SX doesn't have a PINIT command; there wasn't much need for it. The PINIT command was added for the 48GX because of the potentially large number of ports. If I understand correctly, all that PINIT does is STO a variable and then PURGE it for each port that's available.

Assuming that the card is good and has a good battery, just STO any variable to the port; use port 1 if the card is in slot 1, or port 2 if the card is in port 2. If that doesn't fix the problem, then something is wrong with either the card or the 48SX itself.

Okay, more specifically, if the card is in slot 1, then try:

0 :1:A STO :1:A PURGE
Or if it's in slot 2, then try:
0 :2:A STO :2:A PURGE

Regards,
James

James thx, that fixed the problem for me.I know if you have a cogo card that will work with it, all you have to do is type in TDSCOGO to fix the invalid card data.

Thx again.....cheers
