The SCSI2SD is the older 4.2 version. I suspect the changes made to SCSI before v6.x may have fixed the corrupted filesystem problem with the SCSI2SD 4.2. I think if there were hardware problems with the SCSI2SD board or the SD card, then I would be seeing lots of errors in MacOS and with v6.x kernels. > > It could be related to the problem you described to me that arises when > you subdivide an SD card into multiple SCSI targets.
