It looks possible that AUTOSAVE has become non-functional:

When I subsequently popped the SD card and put it into Windows and Linux machines it read as empty, and when put back into the PicoMite it also said it was empty.

There have been no past problems with this newish SD card or with this particular Pico and SD reader, at least not since the very early PicoMite SD card teething issues.

Best wishes,

Tom
