now i wish i had stuff to archive but i guess at least it's useful for writing new amiga disks without having to do it through the amiga itself
something that stands out to me is how the erased side is straighter than the formatted side being wobbly. that's (i imagine) a tell that the original formatting was done in a different drive with a slightly different head alignment
i played with flux-erasing a disk and then reading it back and for some reason it managed to not erase a couple of tracks on one side which makes for very educational material comparing a demagnetized track vs. a FAT12 MFM formatted one
@atax1a you'd think the head can't change between tracks and 0-60 read without issue
the raw fluxes i took later seem intact so i think the worm gear might've been cranky the first few go arounds
it might've been a drive issue, a raw flux image with 3 revs per track seems to make a perfect image? or i've done something wrong, lol
ok new #greaseweazle issue:
i've got a PC drive now and it properly works for reading
however with multiple disks (Amiga and DOS format) i am getting missing sectors somewhere above tracks 60-70 (varies a bit by disk)
is this my disks being consistently bad or is this indicative of a common drive issue?
anyone know anything about #greaseweazle ?
i just got a V4.1 i'm trying with two amiga drives, i have --drive=0 option, both drives properly spin and seek (if i force a cylinder or use the clean function), but any read operation returns Command Failed: GetFluxStatus: No Index
i'm hoping the greaseweazle itself isn't the issue, still waiting on a pc floppy drive to arrive

@TonicBH i can't decide what's worse this or "cozy murder mystery"

@lion "part time youtuber" with Chris noting in the pinned comment that he'll "probably be full time youtuber" soon got a chuckle out of me though
