While using CiderPress to copy a volume made on a CFFA to a CF card
destined for a MicroDrive, I got an error. The CFFA volume was 65536
blocks and the MicroDrive volume is 65535 blocks. One block smaller,
so I couldn't copy the volume.
Is there a reason for this? Which is the correct size?
On the CFFA I can't specify the partition sizes. I used Davex to
format them, as recommended, then did a fresh installation of GS/OS
6.01 from floppy.
On the MicroDrive I followed the manuals instructions for creating the
maximum size ProDOS partitions. I then used CiderPress to copy the
provided MicroDrive volume images to the CF card.
