Jim -

There is a new firmware update on the nikonusa.com web site as of today.  I 
don't know if it addresses this issue.
I mount all of my slides in Wess or Gepe mounts which are thicker and don't 
jam at all.  There is a work-around for using the Pakon and other thin 
slide mounts.  You can attach a credit card (old one) to the slide 
feeder.  It will hit the next slide and prevent the SF-200 from trying to 
load more than one of the thin mounts.  A rubber band or paper clip usually 
works or you can just try holding it there to be sure of the position 
before you use rubber cement.

Hope this helps.

Tina
