CP/M disks are typically 40 tracks, double-sided. So, you would use the IBM360 INDEX option. Make an image using SPLICE and send it to me at data @ cbmstuff.com
I can look at your image and tell you what the issue is.

Got your image. It's perfect! You can use HxC Floppy Drive Emulator to look at the sector data and all of the sectors are good. So, there seems to be a problem with the writing process of your setup. Create an image of the disk you wrote and send that to me. I can see how that looks, and maybe be able to determine the writing issue from looking at it. The problem could be a bad disk (you are writing to), the density being wrong (something you can change in the pull-down menu or via a jumper on the drive), or the drive has an issue. What disk drive type/model are you using?
(01-07-2020, 09:38 AM)Thanks for looking at my disk. I am using a Panasonic JU-475-5.I played with densities (it was set to writing in low density) - that didn’t change anything. I will send you the image of an imaged disk now.Anthonyadmin Wrote: Got your image. It's perfect! You can use HxC Floppy Drive Emulator to look at the sector data and all of the sectors are good.

Well, I got your image of an image. It seems that tracks 20-40 are not writing back to the disk - they are complete noise (like no attempt). It's either that or your disk you are writing to is bad. Go to the Utilities portion of the SuperCard Pro software and try the media integrity test and see if the disk you are writing to passes.

Hi there Jim -
Media tested out OK, as per attached image. Its weird that my drive READS ok but writes wrong. Is there a step that I might not be doing that is making this happen?
I have installed the software on 32 Bit Windows (rather than 64 bit) to see if that resolves anything. I'll point out that this was actually to get NIBTools working on OpenCBM - but I thought it was worth testing.
