I did have a look at that, now that the show we were getting ready for is 
finished I can spend a bit more time analysing. I used Anadisk to get disk 
details for ImageDisk because that’s usually the first utility I go for. It was 
just pure fluke that I suggested he re-imaged the disk with Teledisk and was 
amazed that it worked.

I’ll do that too. Hurray for ‘special case’ code though :)

Somebody has apparently got an HxC emulator running in a Waveterm but we didn’t 
have time to investigate that route. Because the Waveterm is still thinking 
there’s 8” drives in there it keeps the motor running constantly and only drops 
the head to read a sample.
