Track 40 is where the standard write pre-comp starts. I find that about 5% of my brand new disks will pass a media test, usually failing starting around track 71. Some fail instantly, but that is not common. I have some old data disks that pass repeated test with no issues.
Using the wrong density will also cause this. There is a density jumper on the drives, as well as pin that detects whether a high density disk is inserted. You could try changing the density in the pull-down menu (SuperCard Pro software) and see if writing works. If it does the drive’s jumper is backwards from normal. As I said before, you need to be using low density disks with Amiga images. The drive speed is different between low density and high density, and I am sure HxC generates low density images. If you try to write a low density image to a high density disk it will fail for sure.
Send me a image of a disk you attempt to do the media test on. I can look at the flux display with SuperCard Pro’s editor/analyzer and tell you immediately what the problem is.
