Are you inserting the whole CF-SD shebang into the PC or just the SD card?
I've done it both ways with the same result.
I only ask because it seems odd that if there's a timing problem, that it'd get far enough to read the entire boot block and miss fire on block 1 ...
I can see your point, but it's posible that the boot block is read in a more tolerant way. Or maybe the adapter looks busy too long after reading block 0, and the next read fails... -michael NadaNet 3.1 for Apple II parallel computing!
