Turbo driver glitches HELP!!!

ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»

From Yan Zagorskih To All 6 November 1998

Greetings, All!

I'm already fed up with the subject's glitches. The symptoms are as follows: if you install a turbo driver in the Lara Croft editor, then it will definitely hang when reading from the disk, continuing to turn and read the disk in one place, not even moving its heads. It is always cured by twitching and braking the disk directly in the
drive, opening and closing the drive pocket. The same glitches exist on the licensed "Mirror" disc, although I'm not sure
there's a torbo driver there. Computer Pentagon 128 on the board says 1994, the drive is domestic 5313. Gentlemen, hardware people, who
knows what’s wrong, please help fix the glitches, or
tell me where to look. You can use soap.

See you. Jan Zagorskikh.

Maybe your disk rotation speed does not meet the standard? Try
test this parameter with some test program, for example ADC (sort of).

Sincerely, SP/PoS.

I think that this is not a glitch of the turboloader, but a glitch of the VG'shka or something related to it. It is very suspicious that there are glitches in both cases, because in both cases the VG is programmed. There is protection in the Mirror, after all?

With best wishes, Dmitry.
