I just put a Blank Formatted (With No Boot track) ADF image in Slot one and leave it there.

It could be something as simple as you ADF files are virus infected as the same thing happened to me. As my ADF files can't be write protected I was spreading a virus each time I changed a game and it buggered up the bootblocks. I would download ADFscan (PC program) and check all your files as even some TOSEC sets are virus infected.

I'm having a unique issue that I'm not sure what it could be. I've tried my Sandisk Cruzer 8GB and Sandisk Cruzer Fit 16GB but no matter what I've tried I can't get a game to recognize the disk swap for multi-disk games.

One slight glimmer of hope I've had was with Ultima 4 which asks for a blank disk. It detected the blank adf and wrote whatever it needed but asked for the game disk afterwards and that was never detected.

Any ideas?

Sandisk cruzer fit usb2 8gb doesn't work for me! 6 cards in and still no luck.
