The Applesauce Floppy Disk Controller Client Software has been updated. The latest update includes a number of important bug fixes including the following items:
- When the Fast Imager was performing Retry Bad on disk formats that require double captures (due to poor checksum algorithms), it could sometimes visually revert a partially good sector capture to a bad one. Internally it still has the good sector data and will save it, but visually it was confusedly showing the wrong state. Fixed.
- When imaging some IBM sector formats, the Fast Imager could sometimes not see a change in sector geometry if the encoding type (FM/MFM) also didn’t change. Fixed.
- The Analog Test could crash under rare circumstances, fixed. The noise portion of the test has been tweaked a bit to now show a “theoretical max” line. This is basically the maximum number of bit cells that could fit on a track. You want your results to be as far a possible below that line.
- Fixed an issue with the Diagnostics Speed Test hanging in the rare case of receiving an error from the drive.
- Improved detection of early FAT file system disks.
- Improved geometry detection when analyzing some file systems.
- Fixed potential crash when processing HDOS (Heathkit) file system.
