06:00 PM EclaireXL Feature #73: Implement ATX disk image support: I just tried it with SDrive Max and Eclaire in XL/XE mode. It loaded and I got to the point that the plane was on the... Farb
03:58 PM EclaireXL Feature #73: Implement ATX disk image support: I just tested Bandits with SDrive Max and Eclaire XL in 800 mode. It works fine. You need to wait until the full game... Farb

12:55 PM EclaireXL Feature #73: Implement ATX disk image support: I believe phantom and duplicate sector are synonymous. Yes, multiple sectors with the same number on a track. Both Ag... Farb
08:50 AM EclaireXL Feature #73: Implement ATX disk image support: I quickly confirmed that changing $F7 to $EF didn't break any of the images I ran the Scanalyzer test and it returns ... Farb
07:19 AM EclaireXL Feature #73: Implement ATX disk image support: Hmm, good point. The status bits are active low which would make $F7=11110111 and $EF=11101111. Bit 4 represents reco... Farb
06:22 AM EclaireXL Feature #73: Implement ATX disk image support: As you have already surmised, the status byte returned from loadAtxSector contains the FDC status bits. Are you takin... Farb

10:14 PM EclaireXL Feature #73: Implement ATX disk image support: I should add (in case it wasn't completely clear) that all those titles work with the current version of atx.c. Farb
10:06 PM EclaireXL Feature #73: Implement ATX disk image support: I just tried atxv2 as well.
It sounds to me like the "slow" parts are too slow and the "speed-ups" are too fast. I... Farb
05:11 PM EclaireXL Feature #73: Implement ATX disk image support: I am not aware of anything that exists like that today but think it is an excellent idea. I have reached out to some ... Farb

09:30 PM EclaireXL Feature #73: Implement ATX disk image support: That is great news. I'm happy to test it out. How do I make an .rpd from the .jic and/or .sof? Farb
