Who wants a deep-dive into a tiny aspect of #Psion SSDs and their ASICs?
I was using a #PsiDrive a couple of months ago to dump a 2MB SSD. However, when I tried to extract the files, my FEFS extraction tool (siboimg) segfaulted halfway through. So, as I was in a rush, I decided to come back to it another day. Yesterday was that day.

My first thought was that it could be a problem with the Pico 2, either with the code or the RP2350 A2 stepping chip. So, a couple of days before, I built a second #PsiDrive and put in a Pico 1. But the fault remained with with Pico 1. This meant it was an issue with my code somewhere. I thought it was strange that I'd never noticed it before, so it must be some weird edge case.
