Yup, I used the command line version of MBRWizard.  Unfortunately it
only allows you to create/repair an MBR in XP or Windows 7 modes

by the card).  It all worked out though because I ended up getting a
USB extension off craigslist anyways so I don't have to be so picky
with which USB device I'm using (since the only one I had available
that worked with the CFFA was quite large and bulky for USB stick-
standards.   So all is well :)  If any of you do find a 3rd party tool
with windows that actually works, I think it would be beneficial to
add that information to the R&  D Automation website for other windows
users ( I know, we're a dying breed).


I don't remember having a whole lot of trouble with any of my probably 8-10
keys (because of the early issues we had with the 3000, I bought a selection
for testing)  Generally, if it could be formatted in windows it was
recognized by the CFFA 3000.  I think I even used diskpart (win 7 command
line tool) to try to break things at one point.  Generally, if it formatted
it worked (after the timing issues in the library were fixed up.)

The only trouble I had were with some really _old_ keys. Brian is talking about trouble with _new_ ones... I wonder: is it because they're too big? Would partitioning them up help?
