Hi!
> I have never seen a single sided drive with a 34 pin interface in real life, but I believe it should work just fine with the SuperCard Pro hardware.
> I will look into the double-step issue with the SuperCard Pro software, but a8rawconv will be what you will want to use since it was designed by a guy who knows Atari 8 bit machines.
Was this ever fixed or found? I´ve the same issue here.
Hardware of SCP: 1.1
Firmware: 1.3
Software v2.50
Use Mitsumi D503 40 Tracks 360k 5.25" drive. It´s one of the disk drives used in the genuine Atari XF551 external diskstations for the Atari XL/XE series. So it can read Atari Disks flawless :-)
When I set the Disk-Type to "Atari 400/800" and copy from real drive to a flux-file, 7072291 bytes are written. Every single track from 0 to 39 is read (checked with head´s movement). When I try to do the other way - write a real disk from the former saved flux file - than only every second track is written and the drive crashes to the boundary after track 21. It´s also easily to see that the head will always make a step of 2 tracks.
Same oocurs when I use the copy from "SCP drive 0" to "SCP drive 0" option.
Any help would be fine.
Thanks, Jurgen
