Ok, so I've been doing some testing and I found something odd. My SCSI2SD is writing exactly 2048 sectors earlier than it should to the SD card based on the value I put in the card start sector field.
Details:
I'm wondering if I've found some odd bug?
Will test more.
Details:
- I created a ~6 gb partition on the first part of an SD card and formatted the partition as FAT32 and added the 48k file containing the apple driver and partition map and then the remaining files for the HFS and prodos volumes I wanted.
- Looking at the SD card in HxD on my win 10 machine, I found the starting location for the 48k file was at sector 32,792.
- So using the SCSI2SD utility I set SD card start sector to 32,792 for the beginning of device 1 to line up with the beginning of the 48k file.
- Put the card in my SCSI2SD to then initialized it in my actual mac, setting things up so that the initialized volumes were the same size as the files on the SD card.
- When I pulled the card out and put back in my windows 10 system the SD card was blank?!?
- I looked at the contents of the SD card again in HxD, and found that my SCSI2SD had written to the card starting at sector 30,744 instead of 32,792, exactly 2048 sectors earlier than it should.... partially overwriting part of the FAT32 file system.
I'm wondering if I've found some odd bug?
Will test more.
