KryoFlux Support Forums

I have one of those NEC FD1165 drives myself. Requires just +5V and +24V to work. Interestingly they use the spindle with optical sensor to set the RPM, and mine spun at 720 RPM. Ended up buying another drive and while it was on its way I realised the sensor on the first one was just dirty. The seco...

The scatter plot of those dumps shows really bad noise. So bad that they're practically unreadable. Not sure if there's something wrong with the disks or if the drive heads are dirty. Also, manually decoding a sector from the mill-dump shows the format is non-standard such that DTC simply can't deco...

Most likely (peeking into DTC): Format 0 - Unknown format 1 - GCR Data 2 - CBM DOS 3 - CBM DOS Extended 4 - MicroProse 5 - RapidLok 6 - Datasoft 7 - Vorpal 8 - V-MAX! 9 - Teque 10 - TDP 11 - Big Five 12 - OziSoft Extension 0 - Unknown protection 1 - Datasoft with Weak bits 2 - CBM DOS with Cyan load...

Is it the same drive that writes ok on the other computer or are they two different drives?

Where do you live, if the board has been damaged and it would be viable to try getting it repaired instead of buying a new board?

There's Keir's open source Disk-Analyser which can convert from raw to IPF but I've never tried it so don't know what formats does it support.

Did you try the 3.00 after running 2.72, or was the board unpowered/reset in between?

The firmware is loaded on the first use after each powerup, and if you first try 2.72 and then 3.00 you're using the 3.00 software but with the 2.72 firmware loaded.

The break is generated by the drive when the write current is removed from the heads. Some generate larger glitch, some shorter. KryoFlux, or DTC, when writing from raw files just writes the track from index to index as it has no further knowledge if a break should be made to appear somewhere else. ...

The erase jumper is normally kept in the open position. Only to be closed in a rare occassion that something might've corrupted the unused flash making the CPU try to start executing code from the flash.

And again, how do the LEDs on the board behave when you try to use it?

Hello

After some time of inactivity, I started dumping again. Unfortunately I can't remember how to upload them and I could not find that info on SPS page. How Can I do that?
