Repeated on my Mac (running Tahoe), no issues.

  1. Installed VS Code

Lots of thanks @Stinkerton18 I really appreciate your input here.

I did clone the entire repo. I need to try with the earlier version of Greimans sdfat. I'm currently on a work trip, so I'll continue when back at home.
Honestly, I found PlatformIO to be significantly simpler to setup and use to compile here. It took care of the necessary library versions (thanks to the entries in the platformio.ini file). It really was as simple as I listed, and this is coming from someone who never touched it before. I had used the older Arduino IDE and back leveled the libraries to older releases when I built mine.
