Somewhat related to the third question in this thread.

The latest version from the webstore's Files tab seems to be 2.20. After installing and launching it, I got the UAC prompt (so it's running as admin, the following also happens if I right-click and run as admin). It detects an update is available, and I click Yes to update. Then it tells me 'Installation of the new version is complete!' -> I click Ok. Then comes up an error 'SCP already running!'. I click Ok and try to launch the app again, it again prompts me to install update (which again fails). If I select not to update, I can launch the 2.20 just fine.

I am running Windows 10 21H1.]]>

In the current SCP release 2.40, it seems 96-TPI drives are not being double-stepped when dealing with IBM 360k formats during some operations.

This occurs when reading using the analyzer/editor (every other track is showing random flux.) The analyzer shows a track range of 41 so it should know to double-step when the drive type is properly specified as 96 TPI.

This also occurs when writing 360k SCP images back to disk using copier. It writes 96-TPI, covering only half the disk. No workaround for this!

READING a disk to create a 360k image is not affected. These create fine and are readable in HxC and similar.

Of course we're verifying that the setting for drive type is 96-TPI and read/write density is low. Drives tested were a TEAC and a Panasonic JU-475-4.]]>

The "Load Image" button is greyed out - the SCP is attached to the system, but no drive is connected to the SCP.

Has progress been made on this that I'm not seeing?

I'm going to have a pretty large volume of disks to image soon and I'd like to be able to use a SuperCard Pro to do the job.   I'm looking at needing to do 3.5 (dd/hd), 5.25 (sssd, ssdd, dsdd, dsqd, dshd) both hard & soft sectored, as well as a similar range for 8" disks.  Encodings will most likely be GCR, FM, and MFM.

tnx.

I was surprised but someone at Microsoft got back to me within a day, and indicated that the latest rules update now allows it.

Hopefully this helps trigger less false positives for people in the future.]]>

I have updated the SuperCard Pro software and moved some resources around and that seems to have cured the issue with Windows 10's anti-virus, but some others are now reporting the software as some other type of adware.   I am in the process of getting a code signing certificate so i can eliminate this problem for good.

If you do get the Windows anti-virus pop up you can simply ALLOW the SCP.exe and scp_update.exe programs (and links).

Problem is, I'm finding things in IMG format, which the SCP application doesn't seem to support.

What's the best way to convert from an IMG file (in my case a DOS 3.3 boot floppy) into an SCP file?

Thanks very much!]]>

• There is no option to select a 3.5" dive. This was answered in another thread recently that it was not needed as the SCP will figure out what is attached. This make sense but is still confusing from a User Interface point of view. Maybe having it display that a 3.5" drive with 720K or 1.44mb disk inserted would make sense.
  
• Several times the software seems to 'get stuck' in one mode or another. For example I was trying to write a 720K IBM image to a 3.5" floppy last evening. I would select 720K IBM and then load the image and it would switch back to C64. I finally had to close it and reopen to get it to work correctly.
  
• When you start up the SC software and it detects an update is available, and you install said update when it tries to restart it will show a message box that says, "The SCP software is already running" (or there about). You can reopen the SCP software manually after that.

I saw there was a thread about this false virus flag issue from a few years ago and it looks like it is back. Trying to download the flasher program and get:

updater12.exe, gets flagged as Behavior:Win32/Generic.GX!ml
updater12.zip, gets flagged as Trojan:Win32/Tiggre!plock

It is a PITA to override Defender and get it to download the file anyhow. I realize I don't need to reflash a new board now, just posting as an FYI.]]>

Where then how to convert scp images to a DOS format?
