Disk Type
#5
Hi !

C64 don't work.
Some explanation.
Windows 10 + Scp Card on latest software + Floppy driver CPC 3"

In, Drive/Disk Utilities, I choice Supercard Pro DRIVE 0
Start Track 0, H0
End Track 42, H2

Disk Media Test : OK, I can see (because the floppy drive is actualy on my desktop, the head Move.
I can see the Rotation of the motor for Each Track movement.
I have no probleme for going from Track 0 to track 41, always same 'head movement', same 'clock movement'

Ok, let's go to make scp image from what ever, game cpc disk.
Fonction => Disk copier/imager
Source : SuperCard Pro (Drive 0),
Start Track 0, H0
End Track 42, H2

Splice Mode and 5 revolution
Disk type, as you say, C64/128

Let's start...
Always, I can see the movement of the head and, for me, it's to big, it's seams move for 2 tracks physique when I see 1 track logical movement on your gui.
And... When it reach 21 or 22 Track Number (print on SCP GUI)
It always physically reach the END of track... The head 'slap' but don't move... off course, it physically can't.

Amplitude word exist in english ? yes ? I think The amplitude of track reading, the amplitude of 'quarter-turn' for move 1 track it's too Big.

When I use 'IBM 360K' Disk Type, it's seams, physically good.
When SCP Gui reach 42 logic track, it's reach real the 42 track, i can see That.

So... The C64/128 is NOT a good 'copy type' for CPC.

Until now, I have mainly use my SCP card for Dumping/working on ATARI and AMIGA
That why I did not have see this even.

Splice Copy with 5 revolution _ C64 Type = Catalogue is good under Sgugarbox but, loading don't work (Retry Ignore Or Cancel)
Splice Copy with 5 revolution _ IBM 360K Type = Work Good

You can find this 2 images here if you want to see :


http://sasfepu78.fr/TEST/SCP/


Off course, same probleme in 'index' copy mode.


For next version, it will be a good idea to 'move' Copy mode type outside the scp executable, exemple in INI directory with a lot of configuration file that can be edited.
Or make option that we can edit this 'type'.

For example on CPC, The floppy drive as Only 1 Head, so... it' will be a good idea to make a 1 head Image Wink
As I say, C64 don't work and IBM360K has 2 Heads configuration.


See You
Work Together is the better idea to make the futur
