Side B Atari imaging problem

You might try consulting the manual for this specific model of drive to see if there are any jumpers that might help. But overriding that behavior is not a common option.

Ah, that did not occur to me... (I saw Jim weigh in on a thread about B-sides on AtariAge and didn't notice any caveat about that, but the discussion may well have been 360K drive specific.)  I wonder if I can just electrically spoof the output of that opto with something off the motor RPM sensor instead.  Hmmm...


Thanks,
