Hello everyone,
thank you for taking the time to read this. I am a beginner in 5,25 Floppy Tech and appreciate every little bit of help I can get.
What I try to Accomplish:
- Make Backups a Stack of c64 Floppy Disks, to Save their Content.
- maybe be able to access the content in a Emulator so i can look what is on there
What i have as Hardware:
- A Super Card Pro
- a 64 Bit PC with Windows 10
- a Mitsubishi Model M4854-362US
- about 100 Floppy Discs from my Dads C64
Resources:
- I found the Description of the Drive I am using: https://retrocmp.de/fdd/mitsubi/m4854_i.htm
It also shows the Jumper settings and what they mean. (Sadly I barely understand them)
- 2 Documents of this Forum. Super Card Pro - Using with Commodore 64 / 128 disks and 5.25 Jumpers
The problem:
I am Able to Read the Frontside of a C64 Floppy and make a Backup of it as a .D64 File. I am also able to "Read" the Files with a Program called "DirMaster v3.1.5"
Trying to read the Backside only shows me Read Errors. I have set the Drive Options to ignore Index on Read. Before doing that i got an Error saying no index found.
Now the Drive Reads the discs but only with errors. I guess it has something to do with Jumpers. But to be Honest. I don't understand the Jumper Settings and i am afraid to mess something up. on https://retrocmp.de/fdd/mitsubi/m4854_i.htm there is a Guide to the Jumpers. But I don't Understand it and like I said I don't want to ruin the Drive. I Included the following Pictures, maybe someone can help me.
Thank you in advance for every little bit of help
Friendly greetings
Tony
