Now that is a good test, and, yes, suggests strongly that you are
completely correct about when the BCSIG._BB file is created. Now, for
those of you who have two bookports, try placing a new blank card in one of
your bookports, waiting for the BCSIG._BB file to be created, pull it out,
be sure the file exists by using your stand alone cf reader, and put it in
your other bookport. Then, plug that bookport into your computer, and,
I'll bet, unless the transfer tool won't tell you, that it reports that the
one you have plugged in is the one on which the BCSIG._BB file was created,
not the one you're actually using at the moment.
