I cannot convince nibread to start reading Jordan Vs. Bird: One on One. It consistently hangs on Initializing. This is the only disk exhibiting this behavior. nibread - Commodore 1541/1571 disk image nibbler (C) 2004-2010 Peter Rittwage C64 Preservation Project [link] Version 0.8.5 (Built Jul 18 2010 17:30:50) Drive Version: 73,JIFFYDOS 6.0 1571,00,00 Drive type: 1571 Bumping... Initializing (sits here for minutes with no activity, spinning the drive but otherwise not making any sound) Exit requested by user. Uploading floppy-side code... Resetting drive... C:nibtools> |

That happens occasionally if there it a "killer" track present. This locks up CBM-DOS, hence the name. I usually disengage the disk until the heads knock, then engage again right before the image begins. |
