swap_sides default maybe mixed up in Atari settings
Hi @davidgiven!
While browsing your rewritten code the other day I noticed that all the Atari writer configs have swap_sides set to true. If I'm not mistaken swap_sides should always be false except for commodore1581. Maybe a find'n'replace will easily fix this.
commodore1581 needs swap_sides for writing.
EDIT: Hmmmm, I stand corrected: See https://github.com/davidgiven/fluxengine/pull/310 EDIT2: No, I'm still right.
Tested in real 1581 floppy drive and this shows: Disk unreadable, so swap_sides is still needed. Will test again with changed sourcecode tomorrow.
So I think the 1581 is fixed, but I don't know about Atari ST disks. I can write them successfully, but I can't test them as I don't have an Atari ST.
Well, until I find time to set up my only Atari ST that is tucked away somewhere we could kindly ask @keithclark to have a look.
By the way. I retested commodore1581 tonight and it works well now, both reading and writing.
I should be able to get hold of an Atari ST for testing! Also, I think all the Atari configs are putzed. I'm pretty sure the 360kB format shouldn't be single-sides 80 track. There's also something very odd going on with swap_sides --- if I set it to false in the config file it still shows up as true in the encoder...
