ATX currently does not support DD disks. I have not tried to convert a DD flux image but not detecting anything on a DD flux dump would be a valid option in this case. Can you please redo this disk in INDEX mode? For a diagnostic disk this might be worth the effort. Oh, and I see no need for BASIC with this title. IT DOES BOOT! WooHoo! I will get a new copy as soon as I can. Will ATX ever support DD, ED? 17 hours ago, DjayBee said: This disk misses the needed copy protection which should be a bad sector.

Can you please try if this disk works on hardware? I really don't want to believe that several non-working disks were sold. It does boot on real Hardware.

BackTalk 1.2 (1986)(Antic Software)(US)[disk] I recorded it 3 times. each times the bad sectors are the same. The -p option does nothing. Did Antic use copy protection? Repaired by @DjayBee.

Yeah, this is what I had expected. ATX will support DD. ijor and phaeron are currently discussing details of its implementation. 1 hour ago, SoulBuster said: It does boot on real Hardware. I will get a new copy as soon as I can. Since we already have two other dumps with the same problem, I do not expect a fresh dump to be much different. Can you please run the attached image against your physical floppy and return the resulting image to me? It will extract all sectors from track 4 plus each of sectors 84 and 85 two additional times. Take care not to accidentally overwrite your original disk.

It then asks to switch disks.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus I cannot repair the disk. Black Rabbit seems to be a sector copier from ANALOG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phaeron and ijor ask what drive you used to dump these sectors because it seemingly cannot have been a 1050. I guess that I should have given more attention to your mentioning of the Black Box. Best answer directly to that posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SoulBuster Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 Just had to mention new equipment: a QNAP TVS-h874 NAS (Specs). The top one in the picture. I installed: 2 Sabrent 8TB m.2 SSDs that are mirrored. (7000 mbs) 8 22 TB Seagate Exos Hard drives on a Raid 6. 2nd NAS in the pic is the old NAS and will be used as a synchronized backup to the first on a Raid 6. All this on a 2.5 gig LAN. TOP NAS has 2 2.5 gig network ports trunked together. Bottom one has 4 1 gig network ports trunked together. This gives the top one a 5 gig network connection and the bottom a 4 gig network connection. The PC I built has a 2.5 gig network port in it.

+SoulBuster Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 The condition of the following Analog disks are the worst I have seen yet. They all had water spots on the surface along with something crusty that alcohol would not take off. In some cases, I used a plastic "scraper" to help remove the crust and bathed them in alcohol to remove the grime. In all cases, this helped, but just was not enough for all disks. I was lucky to get what I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
