That works well. A little bash script that's easier for me to remember and I'm good to go now.I was curious if something like that would work. That's really good to know :)
Yeah, it took 46.2 seconds to read the 256 mb card to a file in my home directory and 4.5 minutes to write it back. Stuck the cffa back in the GS and he booted right up. Files added to the other partition worked just fine.
I wound up making two scripts. read-cffa and write-cffa so the whole task is a bit easier. I think the hardest part is getting the card from the GS which is under a System Saver with a monitor on top of that. Well, I don't plan to remove it that much anyway.
