They sure do just ask some of them poor Greeks that got ripped paying $300 for a gold card
I have recently found a white card that I am not sure exactly what it is.
Looks like a Gold 16f84 as I can read a PIC and EEprom via my Elvis but can not program the Eeprom - I get an error when tring to write to it.
It used to read in the STB as an accepted card , but now comes up as invalid card?
The ATR comes and goes as well on different days.
Will try again tonight or tomorrow but I thought I would ask here if Gold cards sometimes arrive in white colour?
(No doubt a trap for anyone still hunting the now unwanted, previously popular famous whitey)

When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all
Yea gold cards are no longer gold (white) silver are no longer silver, just go to Jaycar and have a look ....
try cleaning the contacts with a ink rubber
I bought one a while back and it brings up pics and then they drop out.

A Cas 3, & Cas Studio 8.6c will identify the type of card & Pic & eeprom when it is entered in the reader,
If your pretty sure its not a Gamma or Sellers,
Maybe just erase the card & try to program it from scratch as a Gold card or as a Silver Card, (because they can be White too)
Good luck
Edit: I have also herd that the White wafer cards are thinner than the old Goldie's & have trouble making contact in some STB's

Just to let you know the White Wafers do work Ok,
I have a White (Gold Card) & a White (Silver Card) that I use constantly for watching TV & testing,
I have erased the cards & loaded them many times, using different methods , & so far they are still working perfectly,
I use a Humax 5400 & an IRD1 cam in a Strong 4658X STB

Thanks for the feedback
Had another go at this - It looks like it will work fine as a 16f84A / 24C08 ?
If it was a 16f84 / 24C16 there obviously is a problem with it's memory.
Unless it could be used as a 16f84A / 24C08 it is really no good.
