I received my SCP yesterday and installed it today on a 32-bit XP SP3 machine w/ 3GB RAM (SOYO mobo, AMD Athlon CPU, no overclock). I installed the software as recommended before connecting the card to a USB port. From the SCP I am running a Panasonic 3.5-inch 1.4 MB drive which the software recognizes as drive 0. Windows recognized the device as USB / Serial device.
Selecting "Disk Copier" as the function and Amiga as the format, I created images of several disks known to operate with my Amiga 500 and which I had previously copied ON the Amiga using a software utility called Project D. I accepted all SCP defaults for these copies.
Copying indicated success (all green cells) creating an image (.scp, not .adf, with preservation) and after copying I made duplicate disks, again without errors, of three files that I knew had boot tracks on them and were therefore bootable on an Amiga. One of the three, a Workbench 1.3 disk copy, booted successfully; two others did not. The Amiga did not recognize the others as DOS disks.
I loaded the images into the analyzer and noticed that the WB disk started with "801555555..." while the other two started with "AAAAAAA..." Obviously there is a difference but what it signifies is lost on me. Could someone please suggest a direction for further research?
Thanks for your reply.
