  I've got a FingerPrint GSi like SuperTimer descibes above, but it
crashes/freezes my ROM 01 GS when I use it with any GSOS version greater
than 4.0. That is, I can capture any screen if I use GSOS V4 as my OS,
but with any GSOS version geater than 4 my poor old ROM 1 GS crashes or
freezes (I get the blue screen of death [gee sounds like Win95  ;-0 ]).

Does anyone else have a FingerPrintGSi and have this freeze problem??
