I use a couple of ADFS/SDFS formatted SD cards for this. Which in this
context has the advantage of not requiring Fat32Fs. I use Fat format sticks
mainly for transfers to/from Linux boxes. But since my Iyonix has no SD
card slot I've been using the Fat format sticks.

Alas, for reasons I don't understand, I consistently get the problems here.

Sound like the same setup. I have a directory called Fat32Fs in PreDesk and
this contains the module and a !Run file with the content
IfThere <Obey$Dir>.Fat32Fs Then RmLoad <Obey$Dir>.Fat32Fs
When I can I'll experiment with launching it by some other method.
It has actually also occurred to me that the tendency of my machine to give
the 'blank screen' may at the point it is probably going though PreDesk.
Afraid despite my alterations to startup screen mode I've now encountered
that again.
So I'll try taking it out of PreDesk.
