First, glad you got it ironed out too - I freaking thought it was a longshot
that I found the data/figured out what was wrong; which is also why I shared.
Glad to hear that others are finding the info online, too.

The way you described it, you sounded like you are hoping that Raspberry Pi
fixes the issue with a future kernel... well I guess that linux - but point
being, its on the OS side. Me, I was mad that this Raspberry Pi case company
(RetroFlag NesPi 4) shipped a case, designed to be used as an SSD booting
case - with ability to change 'NES carts' or- hard drives inside a plastic
'NES cart' that used a connector that has this issue.

Because its not all connectors. The better quality ones, and even some
cheapies from China... work. The ones with full UAS SSD support... work.

Anyway, I'm right for thinking that RetroFlag is the one to blame here,
right?? While it might be nice if a kernel update or something Raspberry Pi
can do would help get these components working without a hacky work-around, a
damn case company whose case IS for using SSD hard drives should have testing
and known that they couldn't use the cheaper by $0.05 connector, right?! :P

Pisses me right off. And I was a big fan of this case, did a review of it and
all - I can't recommend it anymore; waiting to see what RetroFlag says about
the issue.
