Beta .54 corrects a problem with 48 TPI drives. There is an issue that I will need to address at some point. Images currently created on a 360RPM drive will not write on a 300RPM drive, and vice-versa. I need to fix a bug in the flux translation when the time is over a certain limit (like 200us vs 166us track times). I am also working on the flux normalization routine that offers a more true reproduction of the exact flux data while writing, based on how the target drive handles magnetic transitions. Every drive is different, so for exact preservation quality copies, this routine needs to be used. If you just want a copy that works, but might be a few bits off then it won't matter. I will make that selectable as an exact bit exact copy could take considerably longer depend on the drive speed variations.
Fixed bug in analyzer not being able to write to the back side of a disk (flipped over) with the Index Sensor/Writes->Ignore option selected.
Fixed a problem with G64 tracks greater than the 'norma'l $1EF8 length. Bumped the storage space to be $1F90, which fixed the problem with some V-Max protections. The G64 image is created as the disk is read, so I will at some point re-write the code so the flux data is read first and the longest track is used to set the maximum storage space needed. This will optimize the file size by a few kilobytes.
