I take it you are NOT having problems connecting to the drive with the 3 slot version?
If the device is not booting up properly, it’s no surprise you can’t access the drive.
I just checked the RAM mappings, and the main version does use a bit more RAM than the 3 slot version. I would like to
verify the problem exists with another device first just to make sure, but my guess at this point would be that the
operating system used with HW 2.81 uses RAM memory differently than the previous versions, and the larger version
overwrites part of the code, and since one of the functions of the OS is to provide disk access then this is why it fails.
I can see if I can’t trim the RAM footprint back, say to the level of the 3 slot version, which, if this is the problem
should solve it, but would like to verify with another device first just to make sure…
