- the FluxEngine creator notified me that he had fixed some bugs, and that ND format 17b floppies was reading fine for him now, so I needed to test that as well. I updated the firmware and software to the latest from the Github repository (master branch), set up a 5.25 inch floppy drive and started testing. Torfinn (talk) 14:23, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
- first try

try with --revolutions=2 to see if it improves the reading

a clean image. Nice!

and ndfs can list it (I also tested extracting the files and that works too). I went on read more images, some were ok, and some were not. Torfinn (talk) 14:23, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
