That fixed it. I tried several of the disks with the previously reticent IIe, and they all worked fine. Including the Applicard one. It was pretty cool... imaging a virtual disk over the internet, via audio signals, to the CFFA3000 talking to a USB thumb drive, booting CP/M. I'd like to think Gary Kildall would be amused.
So the CFFA3000 works fine with no-format, 8kfi option. I suppose I should bust out my II+ machines now and see how they fare. :-)
A couple of final suggestions:* The website looks goofy on a non-Apple host computer. Must be missing some fonts somewhere along the line. Most things are readable, but the inverse text is unintelligible. * Web page cheatsheet says: "then from your computer press play." could probably be clarified to say: "then press play here." * At the end of the ordeal, you're dropped into the monitor at the Apple II with the admonition to remove the disk. Seems like most folks would want to be left at the Applesoft prompt, and would also want to be advised to boot the disk (with PR#6 or C600G, if they're still at the monitor).
That brings me to another observation... I guess we're assuming we're running from S6D1, right? That should probably be mentioned somewhere along the line.
