On the other hand, the people who > wore ibautil should know as much about the card as anyone... I would expect it to work. You could try ruling this out as a source of problems by using a different method to load DOS (e.g. a floppy disk, CD-ROM, or USB key). > 2. The Wiki page says that this card is "expected to work".

I have removed the "Supported cards" section from the wiki page; it adds little value since the list of explicitly-tested cards will always be much smaller than the list of cards that the process will work with.
