there have been 3 reported successes in getting it in IRC and in the tinychat when Tereg and Captainkrtek were explaining how to do it.
Tereg found a possible wait condition but is more concerned in getting this method up and running quicker.
EDIT: I've been trying since they posted it last night at...what 8 but to no avail.

I would be curious to know how it came to the developer(s) of that process that only a class 4 PNY card ("must have," in large, bold red) is eligible for success.

I modified that must have statement about the PNY Class 4 SD Card. There is one person who appears to have success with a class 2 SanDisk 8GB card. Most of the successes that have been reported have been with PNY Class 4 cards.
The method I followed when I was testing was a combination of a post in the original thread by Hairston specifying the exact card he used for the process
Updated root 1.49 - Page 45 - xda-developers
And then I basically read some tips/tricks in the Incredible Root thread combined with some tips/tricks in the original thread by Dc_striker. The night before I bought the card, I tried all sorts of variations of timings of the SD card in/out (when to press the button to go into recovery, when to press the card in, if I should pulse the card in and out, etc.) with the stock card for several hours and couldn't get it to work.
Edit: I decided to give that specific card a shot. I wanted to try to replicate what he did as best as I could gather from the information in the original thread and other threads related to the process.
When I got it to work the very first time the next day with the bought card, I noted what it was that I did that was different than the other attempts, and when I went ahead and unrooted with the RUU OTA and went through the steps again as I recalled them, I got it to work on the 2nd boot attempt into recovery.
Anyway, basically, the way I came up with that specific card was based on what I saw Hairston report he used when he got it to work.
