IBM support had me remove Card Wizard from my 380ED because there was a
problem with Sandisk flash cards. I don't remember what the problem was
now.

The support guy explained that Card Wizard wasn't needed by most cards.
Maybe it was network cards that he said they were really designed for. I'm
not sure now. I only use a flash card and a modem.

After removing it, the problem went away and no new problems cropped up. I
still have an icon in my system tray to use to hot-swap cards. It turns out
that Card Wizard isn't needed for that. I have several flash cards with
different things that I use in my palmtop and I'm always swapping them.
