   > I have somehow corrupted the volumes on my IIe CFFA card. Is there anyway to   
   recover the volumes? Prosel-MrFixit aborts when it tries. Can a CFFA3000 use a   
   CF card from the CFFA (v1.2)? What recovery tools are available for the IIGS?   
   Do I need to put    
   the CFFA in a GS in order to access the partitions? Or is the CFFA3000 smart   
   enough to use the CF as is?    
      
   SALVATION is a recovery tool that runs on the IIGS.   
      
   Read through the CFFA manual.  There is a dip switch that can make the CFFA   
   3000 act like an older CFFA version.   
      
   Up to 4 partitions are recognized on the SmartPort under Prodos 8.  For more   
   than 4 partitions requires GSOS.   
      
   If you accidentally formatted the Volume Directory, then you need a program   
   that can find Subdirectory headers, which can be recreated in the Volume   
   Directory, and a file's master block for those non-directory files that are in   
   the Volume directory as    
   well.  Master blocks do not need to be re-created for files that are in   
   subdirectory's as they are still connected.  And the VBM (volume bitmap) will   
   need to have all the used blocks reset again.  Which means, under no   
   circumstances, save anything to    
   those volumes until everything is fully recovered.  You will know if volumes   
   are fully recovered when you do a CATALOG and the BLOCKS USED is close to what   
   you remember it being.   
      
   Use Glen Bredon's "Block.Warden" to scan your partitions to see if you can   
   locate any data or subdirectory headers to even know if the volumes can even   
   be resurrected.
