AFAIK it's not so uncommon for memory cards to contain just a single 
partition, without partition table.  I think EmuTOS also supports such 
things.

With memory cards being nowadays magnitudes larger than hard disks used 
with original Ataris, I think calling them <whatever> floppies, is a bit 
misleading. :-)

It's possible, but that info may have been over too many mails...

Btw. I added "--scsi-ver" option to Hatari, but "--scsi-ver 2" did not 
change anything.  Next I'll try whether adding some kind of partition 
table would help.
