BBC Micro Saving to Disk

Last night I found out about the backport of the Master version of Elite to the standard BBC B. So gave it a go.

Bought stuff, hyperspaced, jumped, docked, sold, reequipped all find, then saved. Error. Tried with a blank ssd. Still errored.

So I tried outside Elite and get the same issue. I'm unable to save to any ssd (they're not (L)ocked) without the save corrupting and bringing up an error as shown in the screenshot. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it solvable?

I don't think the BBC core has disk support, I thought it was only MMC ?

This is MMC. Each disk is an ssd in an MMC slot.

I didn't think they had write supprt ?
On my real BBC Master, when I used a MMC in the past, I found it very picky with writing. There were two MMC builds you could do, Turbo MMC, and Super MMC - I am not sure what Mister core supports. What it needs is proper ADFS disk support, then we can use actual .ssd images.

Thanks for that so to clarify, there is no write support as yet.

would be nice if we had a version of the core that didnt need the mmc just a regular disk images like the other cores have
