THE MOVERS Treasure Chest II
hello dudes,
fresh from my red hot glowing 1541-ii disk drive - another transferpack (finished some minutes ago..). i got the disks from a friend with his c64.
246 transfered disk sides in the pack.
that was a bloody work - some (bad) hd disks and pc disks where in the box. some of them makes my drive crazy.
HOT!!
if you have self transfered disk - please post them! ;)
regards

Look at this scheme and let there be no
doubt that Nibtools is supior - but probably
unknown to many as it requires some soldering
in the floppy-drive. I could have added more
parameters for comparasation but hey ... these
are the essential!
Nibtools
takes all bits : yes
takes all tracks: yes
is fastest : yes (10 secs)
Known flaws : no
NibConvert CAN interprete errors and create the
correct d64 with error-bytes corret : yes.
Warpcopy:
takes all bits : no
takes all tracks: no
is fastest : no (23 secs)
Known flaws : yes
OpenCBM:
takes all bits : no
takes all tracks: yes
is fastest : no (30+ secs)
Known flaws : yes
StarCBM:
takes all bits : no
takes all tracks: yes
is fastest : no (30+ secs)
Known flaws : no

starcommander also autodedects 40 track disks if you tell it to do so
and before everything here goes specualtion, i would ask you to do a praxis test like i did.
take 20 of your disks that you know contain errors and transfert them
a) with starcommander error retry set to 100
b) nibtool
after that compair them and see for yourself on which disks more damaged stuff is, the ones by nibtools or the ones by starcommander
the whole point of transfering old stuff to save it gets pretty pointless, when its more important to you guys to have a job fast done, then to have a job good done.
think about it. (and make the test) |

The method is to quickly transfer all disks, allowing for some errors, then sort and find special stuff.
If that stuff is on a bad disk, re-read the disk to try to fix it. |

Tmb: I did not speculate my answer, I did testing disks
with certain errors and some without.
Only transfer programs that tranlate all errors correct
are: NibTools and StarCBM.
Comparing those two --> Only program that gets all bit : NibTools. |

Any thoughts on best way to use the 1541U to convert to SDRAM (or via Ethernet enabled 1541U).
What program is suggested?
I recently obtained a 1541U, I will use it to convert a lot of C64 disks, any ideas?

I would suggest warpcopy, it works with 1541u as well once the new firmware is applied (in case you dont have it already).. |

Groepaz: if 1541U is the medium, which software in relation to quality conversion, error retry etc... is best? (ignoring speed) |
