.adf to .scp to real disk

[shades_aus]

The actual oxide material is different between 5.25" and 3.5" disks.  You will notice that the color is more "silver" with the 3.5" disks compared to 5.25" disks.

Interesting!
I have over 1000 5.25" amiga disks I need to backup and the external drive for them so, I may not give up on this yet. My trusty loved 4k has ended it's life so I am down to emulation these days.

Ok, so, my old external Teac USB 1.44MB PC drive formats and reads/writes to the new disks without a problem.
I must be doing something else wrong.

I also made a blank Amiga 880k disk using HxC and dumped it to .scp and tried writing that followed by, trying to read it back as a .adf with the same results as before. Lots of Yellow errors.

Ok. I have also tried dumping a 720K IBM format image to .scp flux file using HxC and then trying to write that instead of Amiga 880k to see if I can write this format instead, however, the SCP software keeps thinking the .scp file is an Amiga format image. When I try to change the type to IBM 720k, I have to load the image again. The program then defaults back to Amiga format type again.

If I read the .scp flux files with HxC it states the PC one is FAT 720k

[*]So, the image is ok.

I did the same for the HxC blank generated AMIGA .scp image.
