David,

How did you assemble this a particular image?  Do you start with a blank CF 
and use the dummy file and cpmtools to write a .dsk?  I bet you have 
already tried another CF...


The problem with this is that I learned most of what I know from you and 
your example work, so if you are stuck you can be assured I am!

Good luck,

Thomas
