DAN ][ SD CARD Help from someone who has built and got working

G'day from Australia,

I have finally got around to building a couple of DAN ][ boards (pcb made 2 years ago), and i have made 2 but Am completetly unable to get the SC CARDS to read.

The boards boot to DAN ][ prompt, and if there is NO sd card, drop into the boot select menu.

But if a place a fat 32 formated SD card, when i hit return, it just sits at DAN }{ and flashes.  I am using the ATMEGA and BIOS code from 

https://github.com/ThorstenBr/Apple2Card  with version 1.1 pcb.

 I notice he hasen't reponded to github inq for a while so hoping someone who has experience with the DAN ][ 

could chime in with some suggestions.

I have used a 2 GB SD Card formatted to FAT32, i have not tied Fat

I am using only TTL components not HC, but it should make no difference i believe.The card flashes the LED's when no SD Card, so I believe the ATMEGA is functioning properly.

I have tried in 2 clones and an original Apple 2E machines to test, same results..

I have not tried an external SC Card reader, that will be next.

Thanks, and any help appeciated.

I have used both "VOLXX.po" and "BLKDEVXX.po" extensions.
