Subject: Re: Protected disc
Hi Mark
Here is what it said when the G command was used in XFER4.
Unrecognised disc format, drive 0 has 82432 bytes
Disc 0 returned size is not a whole number of tracks
♀
Any Ideas?

What happens if you try the XFER (G)et Disc Image ( Which copies the
individual tracks ) ?
I have modified the Basic Program so that the Get disc image works:
http://www.thefatguy.co.uk/bbc/xfer4/XFER-M1$.zip
You'll have to transfer this version of XFER to the BBC then run it...

|
| Thanks for the replies to my earlier questions.
|
| I am now having a problem copying a Protected Disc.
|
| The original disk is a factory produced disk 40 track DSDD. The second
| side is blank. I have three (factory) copies of this and the all
behave
| the same. There is a file called CNCDRAW, I am unsure of it's function
| as If I try to load it, it gives the same disc error as below.
|
| Essentially there are two problems:
| 1) I am using ADI200, to copy these there seems to be some
skewing
| of the sectors and tracks 33&34 have no sectors. Apart from that I can
| see no other problems. When I copy these they copy fine and verify
fine.
| When I run the program (menu driven CNC program) it loads and runs
fine,
| but when I ask it to load a specific file into the CNC simulation it
| gets errors and exits to the prompt. On the original disk this does
not
| happen.
| What are the settings you would recommend and any advice would be
| apprieciated.
|
| 2) When trying to XFER the disc to PC I get the following
listing
| $.CNCDRAW 000000 000000 002000 00A
| Then it says transferring and the file size is 3062. It makes a noise
as
| if the drive is on the wrong track setting and comes back with this
| error
| DISC FAULT AT :0 0F/00 AT LINE 1350
| If I switch the drive over to 80 track when it makes its noise I get
the
| following error
| DISC FAULT AT 0 0E/00 AT LINE 1350
|
| Now for some other info that may or may not be helpful. I have some
| software written by the same company for a CNC milling Machine, it is
on
| a 80 track disc DSDD but these have hand written labels Indicating
that
| they were copied. It also has this CNCDRAW file (but the file size is
| smaller at 2560) and it gives exactly the same problem when trying to
| xfer it across. The error I get is the same for the 40 or 80 track
| switch setting: DISC FAULT AT 0 01/00 AT LINE 1350
|
| Is the "LINE 1350" referring to the XFER ? or to the file its trying
to
| transfer?
|
| I don't have these discs for long as they need to be sent back on
| tues/wed this week.
