Poseidon 4.5 and CF Cards

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Does the problem exist with other devices, i.e., USB flash drives, etc.? Or just with the CF?

I know my Poseidon is out-dated, though.  v4.5 is available?

I don't know if this is a legitimate source, or where people who are original owners are supposed to get it from, since http://www.platon42.de/ has been down for years.  But I got 4.4 when I bought my Thylacine, and 4.5 when I bought my RapidRoad.  Jens has a link on his wiki:

Hope this helps!

Quick thought - if you copy the files to RAM:, does it also crash?  What's the MaxTransfer value on your hard drive?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

As far as RAM, no way to do that. The files are my backups from WHDload and other system things. Some as large a 1GB. I only have 256MB of free ram

Well then.  

I recently downloaded one of those "WHDLoad game packs".  All said and done it's something like 3.78GB.  I was wondering how I'd get it over to my Miggy then I thought about it, I'll just keep the whole thing on a USB drive and run the games straight from there.  Easier for me, and Poseidon seems to have no problems recognizing my 16GB USB drive, haha.  

This might be a good test though - can you remove some of the stuff and make a file about 200MB, and transfer to RAM:?  If a file that large transfers okay to memory but not to hard drive that might help you troubleshoot the source of the problem.
