You could test this with C64 disks released by Mindscape such as 720, Roadrunner, and others.

Is there a complete list of games using weak bit protection? I would like to test that too.

I don't know if there is a "complete" list anywhere, but Mindscape used weakbit protection on many games - 720, Roadrunner, Combat Course, one of the flight sim games, and others.

I have found a
Panasonic JU-475-5 A67 5.25"
disk drive.

I would guess its close to a Panasonic 475-5AKJ drive which seems to have no weak sector support? Not sure if anyone knows. I have not bought this yet, I hope to found one of the drives that is known to support it all.

Anyone know what would be needed for C64 disks? Its what I am mainly hoping to use it for.

I found this drive instead:
Share HP 45812A Panasonic JU-475-4E53 5.25'' 1.2 MB 1.2MB DS/HD internal floppy disk drive FDD grey front PC - vintage retro 90s Vectra 486/25T.

Seems like the kind of drive that should work weak bits as well. Not sure, since it says 475-4E53. I guess that might be different from 475-4. I already paid though, so I guess I will be able to tell whether it does work if its unknown so far.

What problem are you having with the adf conversion? Have you tried changing the density in the pull-down menu.

"flux" files. 5.25 floppy disk drive does not have a problem
files from c64. 5.25 floppy disk drive does not have a problem
adf files 3.5 floppy disk drive does no problem
adf files "nec" 5.25 is a problem that pops up a red square everywhere on the entire floppy disk
all possible settings have changed if this model station is not good for adf ?????

I apologize for very poor English I use Google translator, I hope that everything is understandable

If you see red square then the drive has a problem. Use a different drive.
