CF Cards / OS X 10.2
Authored by: bluehz on Sep 17, '02 12:02:21PM

I have never had any problems mounting CF cards with my San Disk ImageMate SDDR-31. I am having an odd problem in OS X 10.2 - where some of the file just disappear. Has anyone seen this problem? Happens like this: I insert a CF card and it mounts directly. Some of the filenames on the cards are a bit odd, but not beyond what Mac OS X can handle - usually starting with periods or underscores, or asterisks. This is req'd for the Launcher I am using in Palm OS 3.1. When I first insert the card - the files with odd names are visible, then right before my eyes they start to disappear...one by one. I have tried perusing the disk in the CLI (terminal) but the files are nowhere to be found. Note - once I stick the card back into the Visor - the files are where they are supposed to be. In other words - nothing is being deleted - I just have no access in OS X to the files in question. Put the card back into OS X an dthe files are visible - until they start disappearing again.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I was thinking it might be a weird DOS formatted disk problem and thinking about playing around with mkisofs to see if I could maybe make a disk image of the CF card or something to at least backup the card.
