1542A adapters can get a rom upgrade...
Well, the difference between A and B versions shouldn't be that large, that
it would force everyone to upgrade the roms?
Replacing the opcode in the driver make the driver see the disk, though it
won't access it. Probably this also could be sorted out? What is
"residual length"? Block size?
I don't have a working debugging environment yet, so I can't do anything
about it myself?
Anyone had any bad block related problems installing on MFM drives?
