blind reads probably are not the problem. blind just means rapid 'pipelining' of drive commands without error checking each one. blind reads are kosher, blind writes are a no-no! Some older controllers implemented 'this 'non-handshaked' read or write capability (my old Trumpcard did before the TrumpCardPro replaced it). What makes you think that a new low level format is in any way related to solving Matt's problem?
