You said you were writing 120kB disks?

Belatedly: I've recently applied a major fix to the decoder which makes reads much more reliable. Could you have another try and see if anything's improved, please? It just needs...

Oops, the Micropolis decoder got broken during the change... I have fixed it. The good news is that both flux files now read perfectly, almost. I say almost because the...

Merged. Are the sectors always in order? If so, the sector ID could be calculated from the number of sectors seen. This will require index-synchronised reads but that's not too...

Re seeking through the flux: the problem was that any seek would require resetting the flux decoder, and the old code would do a several seeks for every records, so...

I've made a repo, https://github.com/davidgiven/fluxengine-testdata, containing some test images. I'll see how that goes. I can always delete it... If anyone has any flux files of known good _blank_ disks...

That's awesome! Glad to have your help. FluxEngine does already technically support Mac 800kB disks (and probably 400kB ones too), but I've only successfully tested it on KryoFlux streams sent...

Thanks for those; that does sound like the behaviour I'm seeing with my disks, which suggests that there is a problem with the imaging. Curses. Although the pattern of errors...

There _is_ something wrong with the sampler and it's dropping pulses. See #75. I'm investigating.

No, if it were bandwidth you'd get a hard error and the read would stop. This is something altogether more subtle. I have no idea why it doesn't show up...
