Just a note to owners of flippy modified Teac drives. These drives are not yet compatible with the SCP as they have been modified for track 0 on s1 to be aligned as the starting point for a KF dump. This puts the head in a -4 track position on s0.

Until this can be addressed - this drive will start at -4 track on s0 resulting in failed copies / images.

This information applies to any flippy modified Newtronics D509V2's as well.

Flippy drives work fine with SCP for side 1 (front side). Reading/writing of side 2 (back side) using the "No-Flip" (flippy mod) is not yet supported.

I have made two new threads with the jumper settings for 5.25" and 3.5" drives. The JU-475-3 info is there.

The YE Data YD-380 floppy drive works, but only for high density disks.

I was able to the extract the contents of several 1.2M PC disks.

For what it is worth, I have been using a Fujitsu m2551a 360K drive with the SCP. Very nice, well bit drives. No idea about weak bits. I don't think any of the copy protected software I have uses that method. Is there any other way to test for that?
