Was that on a SCSI card? Cause without a Smartport driver on the card, you might be limited to 2x32MB partitions per slot.

I'm not planning to read partition maps or do removable-device support in the GS/OS driver (but the source code will be available if someone wants to).
You're right, with no RAM on the CFFA card it would be very difficult to read & respect a partition map in firmware.
Hmm, I guess I'll have to learn 65816 ASM then :razz: . Doesn't sound like a hard task to deal with insert/eject notification (I believe the ATAPI standard has calls for it)

True, but in this case it is not a software issue. My hardware design uses CF cards in their "True IDE" mode. In this mode the card can not operate in a "removable" sense. If the card is pulled out by the user, after it is reinserted the card socket must be power cycled to get the card back into the "True IDE" mode. Check out the SanDisk CF card manual: http://www.sandisk.com/download/Product ... /cf_r7.pdf section 4.7.1 for details.

Q: Are your slots getting full? With a little extra work, I believe I could make the GS/OS driver support a CFFA card even when its slot is *not* set to Your Card in the control panel. It wouldn't be accessible from ProDOS 8, and you wouldn't be able to *boot* from the card,

Or have you decided on a use for the selector block?
