Emax

I wouldn't even try the 2gb card.
The SE update has nothing to do with the issue.
It really is a flipped bit in the 93C06 EEPROM and what is added in the OS
on the disk.

Now, whether or not the PLUS OS 1.0 (SE + HD) has any fix that would help
your issue, I cannot say.

On The PCD-50b there is a Write Protect Jumper in a separate location, if I
recall correctly. Have you removed that?

Thx,
Ted
