Okay, I've finally got my cable working. I figured I should report back here what was going on. It turned out to be an intermittent connection on wire 5 of the DIN plug. That's why it was testing okay when not connected to the PC but wasn't working when connected to the PC. Big thanks to Womo, Joe, and Spiro for all their help. Now on to my question: When imaging some disks I noticed an oddity that I don't remember being discussed on the forums... On some disks I noticed that mnib would mark some of the tracks weak, even on games that I'm sure don't use weak bits. Does that mean the data on the disk is starting to fade or something else? Here's a small snippet of the log from Last Ninja 2 (original disks, of course): 0.5.2 (Built Jan 9 2008 22:27:15) 'nibread lastninja2_1.nib ' Drive Version: 73,CBM DOS V2.6 1541,00,00 Drive type: 1541 18.0: {0: 0/ 0}{1:209/ 0}{2: 46/20}{3: 1/ 0}(2) CID: 'Q1' FID: 'AC' 1.0: {0: 0/ 0}{1: 0/ 0}{2: 11/ 0}{3:226/10}(3) 7816 [DOS] (7816) 2.0: {0: 0/ 0}{1: 1/ 0}{2: 12/ 0}{3:224/10}(3) 7817 [DOS] (7817) 3.0: {0: 0/ 0}{1: 0/ 0}{2: 5/ 0}{3:226/10}(3) 7818 [DOS] (7818) 4.0: {0: 0/ 0}{1: 0/ 0}{2: 12/ 0}{3:218/10}(3) 7816 [DOS] (7816) 5.0: {0: 0/ 0}{1: 0/ 0}{2: 14/ 0}{3:238/10}(3) 7816 [DOS] (7816) 6.0: {0: 0/ 0}{1: 0/ 0}{2: 11/ 0}{3:228/10}(3) 7816 [DOS] (weak:2) (7816) 7.0: {0: 0/ 0}{1: 0/ 0}{2: 10/ 0}{3:231/10}(3) 7817 [DOS] (7817) 8.0: {0: 0/ 0}{1: 0/ 0}{2: 9/ 0}{3:208/10}(3) 7817 [DOS] (7817) 9.0: {0: 0/ 0}{1: 0/ 0}{2: 11/ 0}{3:190/10}(3) 7816 [DOS] (7816) 10.0: {0: 0/ 0}{1: 0/ 0}{2: 17/ 0}{3:197/10}(3) 7816 [DOS] (7816) 11.0: {0: 0/ 0}{1: 0/ 0}{2: 10/ 0}{3:210/10}(3) 7816 [DOS] (weak:2) (7816) 12.0: {0: 0/ 0}{1: 0/ 0}{2: 9/ 0}{3:203/10}(3) 7817 [DOS] (weak:2) (7817) |
