That’s it. I’m going to get an old MFM hard drive and use SpinRite to perform a low level format. Let’s see . . . 330 MB times two per card time 4 slots, almost 2.5 GB.

Maybe I can run off of USB jump drives.

Good idea, SpinRite would clean it up.

Of course, switching to a SSD would also probably eliminate the problem.
