Hi, y'all!

My CFFA card let itself be found this morning after being missing
for many, many months. The card had a 4 GB Micro Drive in it. Can't
remember the last time I played with it so I grabbed the docs from
Rich's site so I could set the jumpers correctly. Opted for eight 32
MB ProDOS partitions. Put the card in an enhanced IIe and booted it.
Did a volume display and saw that three partitions were already
initialized with names "CFFAX", "CFFAY" and "CFFAZ". So, I formatted
the remaining partitions. Here's where it gets interesting. I
removed the Micro Drive from the CFFA card and plugged it into this
Windows XP system via a USB adapter so I could access the partitions
on the MD with CiderPress. No go. XP insists that the MD is a FAT32
volume with no files in it. "CHKDSK/R" finds nothing wrong with it.
Finally, TransMac insists that the MD is an HFS+ volume. Even lets me
access the directory tree. Weird...
