Side B Atari imaging problem

[claycowgill]

Once Phaeron makes the change to a8rawconv to allow reading the back side with the index OFF (he actually doesn't need the index on with the front side the way he is doing the decoding), then you would be able to use that.

I am sure he must be handling the RAM error when the buffer overflows when reading 5 revs.  It's the hardware that generates that message when reading.

So for anyone reading this later on-- I ended up just rebuilding the a8rawconv executable from the source and 'hardwired' the application to 360RPM and no index pulse required by changing:


cmd[3] = rpm360 ? 0x09 : 0x01;

to:

cmd[3] = 0x08;

In the "bool scp_track_read(bool rpm360, uint8_t revs)" function in the file "scp.cpp".


With that little hack in place I can image B-side Atari disks just fine without any other tweaks necessary.
