So I

• Formatted a 128MB card with FAT16 format (I've also tried formatting in the calc)
• Loaded newrplfw.bin to the card - the file is ~954kb)
• Created update.scp as a plain text file (tried both Unicode8 and 16) the file is 26bytes , and saved that to the card
  

But when the card is put in the calc and it's set to update it fails with "Read card Timeout ....Wait, reset or enter"

What , if anything, am I doing wrong?

(I'm doing it all on a mac, but I've double-checked I'm definitely writing a plain text file), does it need to be capital letter file names perhaps?

26 bytes sounds like you are saving the update.scp file as UTF-16 with Unix line endings (<LF> character). Try saving as ASCII (or UTF-8) with MS-DOS line endings (<CR><LF>).
