Re: ZCPR 3.3 disks for the Microbee

[elpiggio]

About the latest post in the Repository Additions. I don't have permissions to post a reply in there.

But after reading about ChickenMan's monumental efforts to recover a "lost" Microbee Disk I just had to say:  Excellent work !!!

And I would also like to recognise many other wonderful efforts in the Microbee World - New Microbees, New hardware design projects, fantastic Emulators, Software and Game conversions, Sourcing and scanning Manuals, Helping with questions on the Forums... anything else I've forgotten.

Thanks ChickenMan, Ewan and all the others for all that you do !!!!

Yes the ZCPR 3 recovery effort has been ongoing for years, others have looked at it but all with the same results.  Will give anything a try, so with the new Greaseweasle hardware that reads at flux level it was able to read data that other attempts have not but still with lots of errors.  Here is one of the GW scans of the zcpr3 disk with a Sony MPF920-E floppy drive.  Red is bad ! Green good

   

which is a vastly different read of the same disk using a TEAC FD-235HF floppy drive
