I've got a translated English version done, but I am having a time trying to use it. I tried first in emulated mode. It was throwing I/O error 162 all day long, no matter what I tried.

Then I tried it on real NTSC hardware. It would reach the point of writing the rom file to the destination disk and then throw I/O error 142. I tried different disks and drives. Nothing seemed to solve that error .

Then I tried the original German version I have on real hardware. No difference.

I'm trying to test a prototype ROMDISK board for the 1090XLR project. To that end I am trying to create the rom files to burn to the 27512 roms that it uses.

I suspect there is a timing issue between NTSC and PAL systems.

I've included the test disks and both versions of the ROM File Generator program.

Can someone check and see if it's my equipment or if they can recreate the same error?

Hallo,

I can confirm your mistake
My devices: ATARI800 emulator LinuxMATE

The source ATR is read up to sector 720 and then sector 720 repeatedly.
I've used your Burnfile generator ATR, my Burnfile generator ATR and the Burnfile generator with RAMDISK support.
And I've used your Microcheck.ATR and my ATR

With real hardware I can not test now, I have no floppy in use.

Sorry that I could not help

Die Software funktioniert sowohl in Altirra V. 2.90 als auch auf echter Hardware einwandfrei.
Es werden die Sektoren bis 1040 gelesen und dann daraus die benötigten Burnfiles erstellt.

Hi :)

I don't seem to have a problem with reading the source. The problem occurs when I am writing the actual ROM file to the destination disk.

Are you able to actually create a test ROM for both test.atr? :?:
