Re: Re: usb disk controller to read c64 disks.

Hi,

As far as I remember about flippy disks, main concern was about index hole what does not exists when you reverse the disk - Some "modern" floppy disk drives accomodates while some won't. If you can't read the "flipped" disk, you have to read bottom side "reversely" by software.

For my own usage, I had been fortunate to find in my stock a "normal" 360K PC-XT drive what accept to perform correctly with a "reversed" floppy on the catweaseal (don't remember make & model)

Could you elaborate some more on the problem that you describe (track 4 
flipside) or provide some pointers ?

Thanks in advance
