You know, I've never had a total failure with MorphOS (now I've said it/tempted providence !! DOOM pending - not the game -)

I've had a few times when I've booted and the block size was out of alignment with the HDD itself, but SFS repaired it all by itself, and I carried on, and that's only happened a handful of times in 8 years or so.

I always use a MorphOSBoot CD-RW to install a new version, as I only have PowerBooks, MacMini and PowerMac G5s, and then I can re-use the CD-RW over-and-over-again when a newer release is available. I do use CF and SD and other digital media, and I do find what you find to be a nuisance, and trouble with digital media to be borne out with what I have encountered, which rarely happens on Windows, I'm glad, but sorry - with regard to MorphOS, to have to say.

Both problems with SCANdal drivers has been fixed (connection error and blocking poseidon) and i'll prepare some quickfix package in the next days.

@ zukow - thanks a lot for your efforts, and I'll be glad to get my hands on those 2 fixes, as they've been driving me to distraction . . . it seems for years now, well one of them has anyway !!

Me too! Thanks a lot! Makes it much easier to scan for me - do not need the long way round (EFIKA) anymore.......
