Main Index Routine Index Memory IndexPirates remaster with drive speed control - Windows XP console logfile
Hardware: Windows XP PC connected to 1541 via XAP1541 parallel cable. The 1541 has a manual drive speed control. I used "rpm1541.exe" below to set the drive speed for each nibwrite run (nibwrite shows different speeds). Because of the parallel port hardware addon, my 1541 drive has a 1541-II ROM. I used my supplied original Pirates PAL G64 images, both with Track 36 fixed: Key Sector shortened to 250 bytes. !! Warning !! rpm1541.exe requires to write a signature to Track 41 ! Never use rpm1541.exe with original disks ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
