Thanks for both replies ... Adam, if the "format" option means editing config.txt so that its contents are replaced by the word 'format', yes, that is what I did. logfile.txt showed that formatting had taken place successfully.

Or is there additionally some --format switch or such?

cbell ... no, I didn't realize that I needed to download another copy of cf-card-contents.zip ... odd! I'll give that a try now. (Does Irex use the download process to modify some file that is not overwritten by the reflashing? This whole process is pretty arcane compared to burning an EPROM or such ... it's amazing you guys sleuthed out all the details. I guess that's true of any reverse engineering project.)

Wish me luck! I'm off to re-request Developer Access.
