Here's the rip with 085. The punchline from nibscan comparing the two: 29/36 of likely formatted tracks matched all sector data |

The actual images all seem to be fine- I can convert using the old tools and the resulting D64 will match. Very strange. I've seen this before with the Infocom games- even though they aren't "protected" they seem to have sometimes have multiple copies of a sector on the disk sometimes, or at least it is detected as so... I'll see if I can get to the bottom of it. |

I did find the issue. The tracks on some Infocom titles are very short- shorter than we can write, even with a fast disk motor- must be something to do with their mastering process. I adjusted the conversion settings to account for it. Your images were read fine, it was just an issue with conversion to G64/D64. You can grab 0.8.6 if you want- there is no reason to re-read any disks. |

I am still a new user on Nibtools, so please bear with me. I had previously downloaded v7.0. After getting the parallel interface working I made a few scans and then downloaded v8.5. The "Paul Whitehead" images I submitted were made with v7.0. I scanned my originals and backups (for comparison) of "Guide to Chess Openings" using v8.5 (to be submitted in a few days after I finish with verification and documentation). I could never get a good scan of the side 1 original. Several attempts returned different results. It then scanned perfectly under v7.0. I tried a few other disks and contined to get bad results with v8.5. I will give v8.6 a quick try and then email you some results. |
