Thanks a lo Howard, just the last question, On my sup2 I have a sup-bootflash (bootflash in rommon mode) of 32MB and in this sup-bootflash is the corrupted IOS.
Befote to buy a PCMCIA i was trying to recover and load a new IOS (20MB) from xmodem but always it stop to transmit. I don't know if this kind of recovery is posible for a supervisor2.

Thanks again for your advices.

David

  Had the same issue here with a couple 6500/SUP2's, and the Flash Card's
were working, but after a format got flakey.  The only real end solution we
found that worked was to take and replace them with a different flash card,
till we got one it was happy with.  Actually went though a couple cards,
till we found one that all the SUP2's seemed to accept, and after that life
was good..
