Are you using the exact same cable in your PC as you are trying with the SuperCard Pro?
Make a disk image of the 1.44MB disk that is failing the media test and send it to data @ cbmstuff.com. I can tell you exactly what is going on with the disk.
It sounds like the density jumper (or pull-down menu setting) is wrong. If 720K disks are passing then SuperCard Pro itself is working correctly. Writing is the same, no matter what type of disk (or drive). If the density is correct, it could be that the media test is just seeing a bad read due to the heads being dirty. The media test is very strict on what the read data must look like to allow it to pass. Seeing a disk image of a disk you run the media test on will let me see exactly what is going on.
The version of Windows doesn't matter. The SuperCard Pro hardware is fully self contained. Anything can control it, and the results will always be the same no matter what controls it.
