Well heck. I wonder what I am doing wrong. I *thought* I could just open "/sd1@" raw and seek to the sector I wanted and write something, but when I do that, I see the CoCoSDC blink for some time (Oh! It must be working!) then after that, the drive is corrupted (ERROR #214 when I try to access it) and not expanded all the way.
Hopefully it's user error. Unless the SDC firmware doesn't work the same way for LBA access???
