I think, based upon your experience and my most recent success, that I'll install OI on this recalcitrant BeBook, then install the EI firmware over it, and THEN reformat the main memory! What fun!
OK, Dave. THAT'S the way to do it! Whether you are reinstalling the original Endless Ideas firmware after you've either had Open Inkpot on your main system, or been using the live version of OI from the SD card, you need to -- as you pointed out --reformat the main memory from JFFS2 back to Fat 16. This was indeed in the OI instructions (as you also brought to my attention) but it was relatively "buried" and I obviously hadn't noticed it. If I had, it would have saved me hours of time and grief -- and your time and concern as well. Again, many thanks, for rescuing me once again.
