Addendum: if you still have the floppy drive you took out of the sewing machine, try using it with the Greaseweazle to see if that improves the disk reads.

That's actually worse than my reads (265 bad sectors vs my 243). You might want to try setting something like `--decoder.retries=10` to force it to keep retrying bad sectors. There...

Can you run the analysis described in https://cowlark.com/fluxengine/doc/driveresponse.html and paste the image in? It's quite possible that the drive doesn't support pulse intervals short enough --- there are some examples...

My best guess is alignment. If the drive's out of alignment, it'll read and write its own disks, but the disks won't be readable anywhere else. Try plugging the old...

Interesting. Okay, not an alignment issue. (I'm also surprised by the jumper issue. PC drives are always jumpered as drive 1, so that's strange.) One question: are you using an...

Very belatedly: sorry, I got distracted by another project! Did you get any further with this? If not, I would be interested in getting a disk, as long as you're...

Those drive graphs look fine, but I'd forgotten that there's an enforced limit of 2.0us on the lower bound (because the firmware doesn't cope will with intervals that are too...

It is supposed to work. Looking at the message in the status bar, it seems like an error was reported --- see View->Logs for the full text. That said, the...

Can you update to the most recent version? I think that's gone away.

Got it --- the problem was actually with the d88 format reader, not the n88basic format itself. The fix should now be building at https://github.com/davidgiven/fluxengine/actions/runs/4622894522; once it's done, an Artifacts...
