Hello all!
I have been reading this list some time now. I have a Atari 8 + 16bit collection with
hundreds floppies 5.25 and 3.5. I followed the post here about disk imaging and have seen
Discferret and Kyroflux. Both look good to me but I use Linux so like the idea of getting
a Discferret because its open source. However I found:
http://www.fpgarelated.com/usenet/fpga/show/105048-1.php
To me this looks Discferret has a problem with either race condition (pulse lost) or
ambiguity (two encodings meaning same) and to me this looks this problem is valid for all
dumps already made. I talked to other guys from engineering classes and one suggest using
12bits (instead of 8) for counter but this would mean having to few RAMs on the board.
Does that mean to better not get a Discferret? Has anyone heard of problems with
Kyroflux?
Want to start making images soon.
Greetings
