Does it really only copy files or did it run some software to scan for CD drives before?

The reason for my question is that the standard AmigaOS IDE driver (called scsi.device) does not support CD drives (or ATAPI drives in general). It needs some additional software to recognise a CD drive. Because of its age this additional software might interfere with how CF cards identify themselves.

The same happens with IDEfix: once the IDEfix software is active, CF cards are no longer recognised. If this happens while the OS is already running, it could well be the reason for the checksum error.

Does the drive reappear if you switch the Amiga off and on again (to remove all resident modules from RAM)?
