A.I. written floppy disk test program with questionable reliability...

So this will just continuously write random data to each track and read it back and verify. It will run continuously until something explodes :thumbup: (in theory anyway)

I will probably heat the chip up later see if it changes things. Will also do some runs with FCOPYIII as that was previously my "test bed" program.

EDIT:
2hrs in so far. Gave it a blast with my gas soldering iron, so it got pretty hot and still no errors..

EDIT2:
Don't know what happened, quit to desktop after about 2.5 hours. Rebooted and running again from 1.10pm..
Died after 20mins. Claude did a program tweak, and trying again, 1.33pm..
Ran a hour again so far.. Will keep testing..
