Hi Richard,

It's good to know the problem is (hopefully) isolated.  After the test
below, I feel it might be more than just a hardware failure though.

Hmm.  So I tried a block that previously had problems with mount.

And an unwritten to page...

So, a page at a time seems ok?

I wonder, what markings are on your CPU and NAND flash?  I have;
AT91SAM9263 CU-ES 0747 8 QH59R.07
0742 29F2G08AAC WP C LJK6

I assume some of this will be a batch code, but I wonder if there's been
a die shrink that's caused some marginal timing issue?

Regards,
James.
