Trouble with Kaypro disks - Wayback - 12-13-2025

Hey.

Been using the SCP for years on my Commodore, but recently wanted to start playing around with my Kaypro.

Starting off simple, I wanted to try backing up my Kaypro 2X boot disk to an SCP image, then write it out to a blank.  Kind of a proof of concept for me to verify that this thing works for Kaypro disks.

Unfortunately I haven't had any success.  Perhaps the SCP isn't compatible with Kaypro disks....  I dunno.

This is why I'm here.  If it doesn't support it, then so be it... but if it should, then could you please provide me with the appropriate settings I should use to backup/restore the disk?

Thanks for your time.

Flux is flux, it does not matter what upper level format the disk is using.

What disk drive are you using? You should be able to use a simple INDEX mode for imaging and copying. You can always make an image file (using SPLICE mode with 3 revolutions) and send me the image to: data @ cbmstuff.com

I can look at the image file and tell you if there is a problem with the drive, power supply, density, etc.
