I tried a handful of machines here, but with no useful
positive results. It's
been at the back of my mind to ask you, though: is it at all useful to also
collect information on what mainboards/adapters are known to *read* various
"non PC" disks OK?
Useful results include which boards/controllers don't work - If someone is
trying to assemble a system to do imaging. knowing that the board he is
considering doesn't work is the next best thing to knowing that it does
(otherwise he has to acquire it and test it - and then dispose of it again
if it does not).
Knowing that SD can be read is useful - but TESTFDC can't check for this as
it has to create the SD disk in the first place. I haven't actually run across
one yet that can read but not write (although I may have and just don't know
it).
Regards,
Dave
