If I am not mistaken, I thought that's what Eric was requesting in his
original message.
How do you know what is there is actually correct?
I don't because I am new to the Kryoflux but the log looks okay so I was
hoping Eric would know if this was useful. I do know the disk that the
flux stream was taken from works because it's original and works in my
Victor 9000.
I'm also puzzled when you refer to
"IMD"
Dave Dunfield's utility?
I am referring to what the "fluxtoimd" GitHub page README file states. It
says "fluxtoimd.py is a Python 3 program to read floppy disk flux
transitions images, demodulate the data, and write the data to an ImageDisk
image file".
That won't work on a Victor 9000 disk
I was curious about that but I'm willing to give anything a try if it helps
the preservation process.
