Actually, the filename is a misnomer.  I didn't want you to have to 
press the space bar 127 times like you did before, but wanted to give 
you something immediately useful.  That binary doesn't have the 
DBG_DSKPROBE debugging mode that the previous binary did.  This one is a 
"plain" MEMDISK plus a fix for your issue.

I'm glad that it is working so far...  If you could report success with 
another model, that might provide further evidence that the commits 
involved are worth merging into the mainline Syslinux.
