Steve,

Thanks for posting back.  Was the one you bought in the new
box?  The old boxes were yellow and blue (IIRC) and the new
boxes are predominantly red (also IIRC).  Please let the list
know if you got one of the cards in the newer box, as this may
(or may not) affect usability.  I have one of the older cards and
have no immediate plans to add another, but I thought I would
at least raise the issue after seeing the ones in the newer
boxes.
