I agree. I´ve tested an unmodified Xenix bootdisk with my real widget drive. That seems to be OK, because no errors.

You´re right. I´ve found it, now. Thanks ! I´ve just taken a look at the pictures and didn´t read all yesterday

I´ve done that every time.

I´ve tried it with FEdit a third time, now. And I´ve doen it using lisafsh-tool with the offsets changed. I´ve taken the modified and the unmodified DC42 Images and took a look into them for comparing using HexEdit.
Everything seems to be allright, but in every case I get the same result (Handshake err)

I´ve some other CF cards and this Card I want to use for Xenix still boots LOS2.0 very well.
Also I´ve erased an other card in the XProFile with success. But booting Xenix : Same result.

At the moment I don´t have any more ideas ...
