Hi again, it sounds like some of those old disks have gone bad. I will bring some freshly written ones over to try.
Maybe those Transcend CFs will work, usually the bad ones seem to work fine but things start going wrong with them, data doesn't copy properly and programs crash when they shouldn't. I wish there was an easier way to tell which ones are good or bad. The problem only seems to be with the IDE adapters, because the same cards work fine when formatted as FAT and used in the PCMCIA adapter. All you need to read them is a couple of drivers:

http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/cfd
http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/CardReset
http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/CardPatch
I can bring these over on a disk if you don't have time to get transfer them over on a PC formatted floppy.
Sunday afternoon/evening is fine with us. I'll get all the stuff we need ready tonight. I hope this isn't too late notice.
