Corrections to above post! [Too late to edit]
I misremembered - the link was posted in a different forum. I found it. The utility was Photonix II, a ProDos program that, when I looked again, seems to have been just a fancy disk copy and format utility.. None the less, any comments on Photonix?
So my question should have been and now is: Does anyone know of utilities that can be run on a Compact to test the function of floppy drives?
eg I want to be able to force motor to keep spinning, heads to keep reading, without going straight to disk eject if there is a data-read problem. I've used utilities like this in DOS and CP/M environments to test signals on the pins.
