Even more hmmm...

Powered up the machine. This time the SD card slot *did* mount an ADFS SD
card first go. No need to use a Fat format one first.

I dismounted the card I'd used for the test and then loaded and mounted the
one I wanted to copy items onto.

This showed the correct details and I copied across a fair number of file
in a directory with one DnD. However partway though it halted on one file
with a "No hardware at this device ID" and invited me to skip/abort/etc.

I chose 'skip' and it went on to copy other files, completing with no more
complaints.

The file in question on the SD card then looked like a Data file (i.e. not
typed) and smaller than the original. I copied the file again having
re-named this 'failed' first copy. Seems OK.

I then used 'discknight scsi 0' to check the card and that gave it a "disk
is good" clean bill of health. But these events are a bit worrying if I'm
relying on SD cards as my common backup method. (Although at longer
intervals I also back up via USB to an ADFS HD in an externally powered
box.)

Can't recall ever encountering this error before.

Jim
