Excellent news.  Glad it was that easy to make it work :-)

You should probably know that OLDCARD will be removed from the 6.0 release,
so you will have to move to NEWCARD eventually.  Machines that only work
with OLDCARD - your 300CT and my Thinkpad 380, for instance - should be
working with NEWCARD by then, though.  Warner Losh is working on this and I
plan to put some time into it too, especially since my machine will stop
working without it :-)

No problem.
