No flux reversal found
Hi there! I bought a NEC FD1155D recently. It was successfully recognized by DTC. But when I tried to dump a confirmed working disk to test it, the gui showed an error that reads "No flux reversal found". I can't find any info about the error on the forum. Can someone help me here? Thanks in advance...
