Hi John, That all sounds eerily familiar. It seems to me that I ran into similar trouble when I installed a 32G CF in my Mpio HD300. I believe Marcin did the bulk of that porting work - you might search the repository history for any ATA sleep recovery issues with the HD200 or HD300.
The only detail that I don't remember exactly whether I had this sleep-and-never-wake problem only with the original firmware. Rockbox *might* not have exhibited the same issue at all.
