Drive Code C128D N0SD0S Scanner bug.

Recently Nostalgia released Legacy of the Ancients.
Legacy of the Ancients +8DIR

The program used to scan the IFFL file refuse to
work on a C128D. I got this error report from someone
in USA, so I did a test on my own C128D.

What happens is:
Installer searches for the iffl file,
then it locates track+sector of the iffl file.
At this point this text is displayed on screen.

N0SD0S V1.2

SCANNING

73, CBM DOS V3.0 1571,00,00

Then scanner get installed in the 1571 drive. Scanner now
searches the IFFL file and you can hear the drive is working
as it makes a click for each track it moves to.
But then at the end of scanning everything freezes,
drive is spinning forever and the led is on.

I tried the same game disk on my c64+1541 and it
works fine. I tried not messing with the $1c07 timer.
I tried with and without fastload cartridge on my c128D.
But I get the same bug each time. Some have said i Have a bad VIC chip, but the VSP scroller in the n0s intro works fine for me.

I am not sure if its the C128D or the disk drive that is causing the problem. I wonder if anyone of you can help
me by verifying if it works or not on these setups:

1) C128D.
2) C128D but run the game from a external 1541(II) drive.
3) C128 + 1571
4) C128 + 1541(II)
5) C64 + 1571

Please post your report here.
Also, if you have any other suggestions to what
the problem might be please post here.
Thanks!
