OK.  ed(4) is fine.  Works great for me.  However, there appears to be
some issues with the Ricoh RF5C47x class of bridge chips.  I have an
old VAIO that exhibits similar problems to what you describe.  I
believe it is the difference between how the TI automatically powers
up the card, and how the Ricoh requires an additional manual step that
we're not doing right now.  I'll try to find that step as soon as my
system updates...  Its a Pentium 300, so even an installworld takes a
while (esp when you forget to enable soft updates...).
