What am I doing wrong ? Im always errors like 'required sector x missing" Im tested on Amiga FDD which works with Amiga 600. Im used straight and then twisted cable for fdd.

Im have last firmware and client sotware (windows / linux - compiled from github)

What command are you using?

The fact that it's saying it's read only 64 bytes is highly suspicious. That shouldn't be possible. It suggests that it's failing to read data from the drive.

Things to check:

  • is the disk actually rotating? (I can't tell from your video.)
  • is the FDD cable grounded?
  • does fluxengine rpm produce anything sensible?
  • do you know for a fact that the drive works, i.e. tested it in another computer?
  • are any other drives plugged in to the same cable?
