Last night I read about a buffer spring they used to sell in the day to give the drive something comfy to wack into when it reached max travel. I suggest you find the end point and put something in there. Apparently it lowers the chance of the drive banging itself out of alignment.

Anyway, im getting success with opencbm to write the images, but it seems the first pass will always fail when writing the d64 image, and every write following that seems to be successful so far.
It also seems formatting the disks has no bearing on this, and they appear to format successful on the c64 and opencbm, yet would still do the same write error when writing an image for the first time.
See my output below:

mons2b wrote:Ok I had never heard of Open CBM. I recon while your tinkering with it check the drive power supply voltage level. Last thing I used on a PC was that thing called Star Commander and one of those x1541 cables I made myself. Software was slow to use but it did work. I managed to put a few games onto disk successfully years ago.
