That's great, thanks. foft

Could it be changed somehow like this? i.e. move the avr parts to another file and add byte swapping? foft

Added more structure to the command handling (common ack/nak etc) and looking much better. More to do though... foft

09:57 AM EclaireXL Bug #74: Mounted disks don't always load

I guess a disk revolution at 288rpm is 200ms, so it must be ok timing wise to do the ack first. foft

08:41 AM EclaireXL Feature #73: Implement ATX disk image support

Hmm, Bandits just worked with no change. Perhaps related to the other sector error issue. foft

Probably about time I fix this, might be impacting some atx loading too. foft
