Hello again,

Tonight I have successfully loaded original BBC floppies on my computer,
so there does not seem to be a problem on that side. I also fiddled with
the settings on the PC and managed to format floppies which I could *CAT
on the BBC. Occassionally I get an error, depending on how the floppy was
created (number of tracks, FM rate etc).

However, any SSD image I try to write bails out after half the number of
tracks: if I choose 40 track format it gets errors on the 21st cylinder;
if I use 80 tracks the errors occur on the 42nd cylinder. I will
investigate this later and perhaps try other operating systems and
software. It could be the 5.25" drive in the PC that is not perfect,
but shouldn't it bail out at a much earlier stage?

Best regards
