I found some documentation in Internet that say that the bit ordering within each byte can also be big or little endian and some architecture actually use big endian ordering for bits and little endian for bytes and vice-versa. Anyway my problem was not related to the bit ordering but to mine poor knowledge of how FAT work, now that I found some more detailed documentation I was able to read correctly (at least) the MBR of the CF. Thanks and ciao
