V2 1200 Coffin R61 Many Freezes and Crashes

Hi.
With Coffin r59 I had no issues.
Now I've tried the new r61 Coffin release and have many freezes and crashes with my v2 1200 Vampire card.

Everytime I will start ScummVM the entire system hangs up, also the mouse pointer freezes but the HD LED is blinking all the time.
I have the same issue when I use "Flash a Rom/Jic" program in Vampire menue or when I try to unpack a LHA file with the "Arc Ext" function in DOpus.

I have tried different SD Cards (connected to IDE port of Vampire) and flashe the G216E Jic file into the Vampire.

Sysinfo shows me up to 10MB with Fast IDE "Speed 3".

What can be the reason for the other described issues?

For a reliable system we recommend to use high quality CF cards from a Brand like e.g. Kingston or Sandisk.
 
We can not recommend to use of China nonames and using SDCards with adapter can in our experience cause problems.
 
 
We only recommend to using FULL IDE Speed of 3 with real CF cards.
We recommend to use a lower Speed if you only use a SDCard and an adapter.

Also I’d suggest to flash the coffin ROM from Vampire menu :)

Is in r61 not the newest Coffin.rom?
