If anyone is writing 3.5" disks with a I have found that enabling a write precompensation of 125ns starting on track 50 seems to give good results. With no precomp, the inner tracks are rarely readable.

I do have a confession to make: although I had the power supply working, it wasn't regulating properly, and I ended up installing the board out of my junk box, at least temporarily until I figure out the problem. Next task is to see if my second drive, a 360k unit from a PC, works, since I was having issues using it with my board earlier.
