Definitively !hedehede81 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 8:25 am I'm attaching the before and after format images, right under the photo. About the the standard sector length, I had a look at the motherboard while verifying the pinout, the FDC is a standard VL1772-02 and the same model word processors were fitted with 720kb 3.5" FDDs later years. So maybe it is about that.
Roland firmware seems ok to me.hedehede81 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 8:25 am It says 112kb for the disks. And lastly, I'm on the Roland version of the Quickdisk firmware, just tell me if I need to switch to regular Quickdisk.
This is time this is better : the track is now complete !
Still the write sector issue. I have manually fixed the formatted image in the attached DSKA0000_ToRead.QD.
Can you just try to read it (without writing anything) ? (Think to remove the old DSKA0000.QD from the stick before the read attempt).
Then update to the new attached firmware (HxCUSBFE.UPD).
After the update try again to read DSKA0000_ToRead.QD and then try to format DSKA0001_ToFormat.QD. Share again the formatted file here.
Firmware update procedure :
Code: Select all
To update the firmware on your device with a FAT32/FAT16/FAT12 USB flash stick/key:
-> Remove any older *.upd file from the stick (if present).
-> Copy the attached new firmware file (*.upd) to the stick/key.
-> Insert the USB stick/key into the emulator and press both buttons.
-> Power up the device and keep the buttons pressed during at least 2 seconds.
-> Wait some seconds... its done !
