not even remotely enough information to help ya.. 

what brand flash card?
what inputs were you using on the MT?
what settings on the MT were you using?
ie: what sample rate/bit depth?

what brand flash card? Can't recall the name. Think it is a Sandisk
what inputs were you using on the MT? XLR to 1/4 inch
what settings on the MT were you using? Can you explain more?
ie: what sample rate/bit depth? 44.1/16

what is the exact card type?
can you describe the "skips"?  are they distortion?
have a screenshot of the waveforms?

if it is a microdrive, it could be vibration that is causing the skips.  switch to compact flash.  i've used the kingston elite pro 4gig 45x on several board recordings - 1/4" trs line inputs (xlr-to-trs & rca-to-ts) & have had no problems.

good luck!

i got a nice 24/48 board on saturday with a lexar 80X 2 gb, the only time something like that happened to me was the CF card being bad

Thanks! I was thinking it was either battery or the flash card.
