Also most copy protections shouldn't be able to detect anything off. Weak bits might be a problem though. Does any of the CBM drives allow to control even the voltage levels of the signals sent or received from the heads? Or make the motor go faster or slower? Where in the circuit is the frontier between digital, bits that comes in and go out, and analog, electric signals going to and coming from the magnetic surface of the disk? > > Gerrit > > > >Received on 2022-03-23 23:00:07
