It kind-of sounds like the drive hasn't got back to track 0, maybe this is what 'no sector 1' error might be referring to. This should be indicated on pin 26 of the cable, if you've a scope or a logic probe maybe worth checking that this is indicating as expected. No idea why the gotek might be affe...

Nice to see some more Einstein videos!

Shouldn't affect the RF though Have you checked the clock for the VDP at X001 as well as the CPU clock? Check acti...

Thanks for the link, definitely need an 80 column card

Merry Christmas Einstein fans!
