What am I doing wrong ? Disk Media Test

[SomeGuy]

Uh, yea there was. In 1.91 and earlier the media tester wrote the same pattern to each track. In a later version you changed that to write different randomly selected patterns on each track. I forget what issue that was supposed to address (something about the test passing if a wiped disk was placed in a drive where writing was not actually occurring, I think), but some patterns randomly triggered a verification error on my system. As I recall you looked at some dumps and found some issue with a brief pulse of noise at the splice point/end of writing, and blamed my drives for it.

The problem he described sounds similar to how mine behaves with the 1.97 software. So when I need the media tester, I just use the old version, and that does what I need.

I see there is a brand new version out, I have not tried that one yet.
