I've just now acquired another pair of 32G PNY's. I have the failed one in a reader right now, and it looks fine. I even wrote the src build directory for tar-1.29 to it without a fuss, but haven't tried editing /boot/config.txt to see if that fat file system will let me.
In the meantime I've unpacked a img.gz that was on the now unbootable card, and will write it to one of the PNY's with dd shortly. If that works, I'll hack up the networking (I use host files here), fix the ssh keys, and then see if it will update/upgrade. So I am making progress slowly, in between the honeydo's from the missus who fell back in February and now has a steel right hip she is still getting used to. So progress is slow. While in town I got a usb drive, says its a terabyte but its formatted fat32 so it only shows 480 megs, but its there. I may see if the OTP can make it boot from that drive. I have another pi if it doesn't work...
