I could never get the writes to work in Mame/Mess so its no user error :D This might give me more of a chance to do some basic code again and save to disc, even if the screen is a lot smaller. Now my real machine is sold, I need proper working emulation that can handle everything I want, and this se...

Nice work.

I need to get my DSLite out of storage and get this up and running.

It is probably worth changing the drive belts if there are any. The ones I had in my Einstein appeared to be direct drive so didn't have any visible belts. Some machine oil on the spindles wouldn't go a miss either. Wd40 is a no go, don't use that. There will be a jumper block on the drives for ds0,...

You could try System 80 instead of xtal dos. I have used that to read 5.25" DSDD floppies on the Einstein.
