GW Floppy Disk drive alignment uses
Floppy Disk drive alignment uses of Greaseweazle. Need to rebuild some 8" YE data floppies by swapping parts and heads around Do you have any utilities for GW to support the disk head alignment adjusting. I have alignment disks from various makers that have track pairs adjacent to tk40 or 44 these are normally used looking at an oscilloscope but because the L and R patterns are sine-wave based i thought you my have some clever stuff that can work out the incoming wave peaks in a GW and report when the L&R alternate peaks are the same level for alignment purposes. My understanding of the alignment tracks is that there is no on-center track. The center has a sine wave track slightly offset on either side to accommodate the scope alignment measurement made on the L and R read head amplifiers in the service manuals. The sine wave in each track is oppositely phased. There are also other tests on alignment disks for track zero etc, If you have code that supports any of this I would greatly appreciate being able to use it..
