|  Re: Please help testing: New loader release imminent
Luca: Thanks for testing!
I could reproduce the 1551 issue, it simply fails to load stuff from the extra tracks, which is expected without custom drive code. The error message is wrong, though. I will simply add code to the test portion (not the loader itself) to ignore illegal track or sector errors when using KERNAL fallback.
I'm a bit puzzled about the 1571 issue, though. Does the loader correctly detect it (CBM1571 instead of generic in the lower border)? The speed figures are strange, should it be .280 kB/s instead of 280 kB/s? How does it crash exactly? The test program loads 3 files for GETCHUNK/CMP: Sheba the cat-girl, then the misspelled Panta Rei logo, then both in one file. Does it freeze/crash on the first or the third file? And with chainging the IEEE hole, you mean use the other serial port on the drive? Which one is the one that works?
Again, thanks for the help!
