1440K images have issues on FloppuEMU? (SE/30)

[JDW]

Until now, I've been using 400K, 800K and HD20 Mode dsk images with my FloppyEMU without problem.  Today, I tried to use a 1440K image without success.  I extracted it from the Blanks here.  When I boot off my SCSI HDD into System 7.1 on my SE/30, it can't read the 1440K disk and asks me to Initialize.  True, I have my Turbo040 installed and the ROM-inator II (with patched ROM that allows booting with the Turbo040), but I just wanted to put out this message to see if any of you have issues when trying to mount 1440K dsk images on an SE/30 via FloppyEMU.

Thanks.

Can't really try because I don't have any working old Macs around but I remember them working fine on my SE/30 (Powercache + IIsi ROM). 

Have you tried making a copy of a working .dsk (maybe of one that is included with the floppy EMU SD card?) and initializing it with vMac? I've had issues like this in the past, but that also happened with 800k images IIRC.

System 7.1 on my SE/30, it can't read the 1440K disk and asks me to Initialize

Only 7.1?

issues when trying to mount 1440K dsk images on an SE/30 via FloppyEMU

I just extracted a fresh blank, booted up in my SE/30 7.5.3 and "injected" the blank - showed up as "Untitled" - My SE/30 is stock with a Ethernet card.

Sorry not much more help other then "it works for me"

What I've found is that if I initialize any DSK image in Mini vMac, even 400K or 800K DSK images, when I try to use them on an SE/30, I get the initialize box.  But if I expand the SIT archive containing the 400K or 800K blank DSK images, then write data to them in Mini vMac, and then move that DSK to my FloppyEMU, my SE/30 reads it just fine.  I also find that if I try to initialize the DSK image on the FloppyEMU using my SE/30, it doesn't work (errors out).  And then there are the 1440K DSK images that just don't work at all for some reason.  Hmmm....
