Hate that kind of situation...

Everything works smoothly and then suddenly you encounter issues you never had before.

Hope for you it's just the Blue SCSI image.

Fingers crossed indeed. I have backups of the disk at least.

Now wondering if the BlueSCSI SD card is bad as its 32GB with 2GB of data on it, yet it's not got enough space free to copy another disk image to it.

Seems fine after re-imaging it, but very strange nonetheless.

Yay !

I managed to connect the Archie A3000 to my network drive via FTP:

Now I can easily transfer my games without using my Raspberry Pi.

FTPc is pretty fast, easy to use and does all I was expecting from it.

!FTPc, version 1.54.

I now have an issue with the Archie, but I guess its due to the Ultra VIDC...

Once the machine booted, screen randomly goes black but most of the time, when booting, it displays 3 or 4 different colours and then doesn't go further.

Have to remove the Ultra VIDC and check.
