Many of these things were feature requests for MC/Rocket but they have not been implemented due to other development activities

There have been reports from folks in the field where the card did not initialize correctly because the Red Rocket driver/firmware didn't match what Media Composer was looking for. This info. is also reported in the console.

In this case, a Mac running MC 5.5.3. The CPU is seeing the Rocket Card - RCX on the same machine works great - but media composer's not seeing it.
