SectorSize is always 512 as discussed above. (The words "blocks" and "sectors" have the same meaning in this context. HDToolbox uses "blocks" where Mount uses "sectors".)

Surfaces * SectorsPerTrack should equal blocks per cylinder aka 504.

So Surfaces = 1, SectorsPerTrack = 504 would do as well as Surfaces = 8, SectorsPerTrack = 63 or other combinations. ("Surfaces" is the same as "Heads".)

Reserved should be 2 for FFS.

MaxTransfer should not be higher than 0x20000 or 0x1fe00 for CF cards.

Buffers should be set to at least 30, better 80 for harddisk partitions.

Add Activate=1 or Mount=1 to the mount file, otherwise it is only activated when you first access it.

Try CD HDA: or DIR HDA: to access it and eventually get a meaningful error message.
