I downloaded CiderPress v2.4.5 and OMG!! It recognized the physical drive as being a FocusDrive and read in all 6 Focus partitions! Turns out I don't have any data on partitions 3, 4, 5, or 6.. but still, I can retrieve all the data from the drive!!
As I thought further about this, I realized that if CiderPress can make sense of the drive, then there's a pretty good chance that the partition table is *almost* correct, but not "correct enough" to satisfy the Focus card. This strongly argues for just a couple of "signature" bytes being wrong. Is the Focus partition table format online anywhere? -michael NadaNet networking for Apple II computers!
