[Feature Request] properly dump IBM-PC 360KB floppy on 1.2MB drive
#8
Done.

I go to Drive Settings > DriveType > and Check "5.25" 96TPI"

(Density under Drive Settings > Density > Reads is already set to Low)

I select IBM 360K from "Disk Types"

I select the Target Device as Flux Image File

Then I click Make Image and enter the file name.

Visibly watching my drive head, the drive appears to single step over 40 cylinders, and the process stops after the head has moved only half way, never reaching the last physical track.

Here is the result:

Running it through several disk utilities, I see (on both heads):

Recorded track 0 contains track 0
Recorded track 1 is blank
Recorded track 2 contains track 1
Recorded track 3 contains decoded gibberish
Recorded track 4 contains track 2
Recorded track 5 contains decoded gibberish
Recorded track 6 contains track 3

And so on to:
Recorded track 38 contains track 19
Recorded track 39 contains is blank
And then it ends.

This is similar to wylda's results.

SCP software version reports itself as "v1.96 Hardware v1.1 - Firmware v1.1"

What am I doing wrong?
