Do the same with a write/read test to LSN0 on another card and post your results.  With a program running around the clock, it shouldn't take long to solve this mystery.  Also take note of the date/time so we can estimate the lifespan we can expect from typical usage on the CoCo.

I would very much like to see the results of such an experiment.
