Ok,

received my kit today, and have got it working.

Testing first with some good disks, no problem.

Then testing a disk with errors.

Trying to copy it with Kryoflux, it was unable to copy 15 of the tracks on the upper side of the disk. Testing the same disk with x-copy on my A500+, only 6 tracks failed to copy.

Tested another disk with damaged surface, Kryoflux gave up on 4 tracks, the A500 only 2.

I have connected the kryoflux to a NOS Sony MPF920 drive.

Using the Kryoflux java based GUI with default settings.

Using the power supply with the premium edition.

I know two disks is not representative, but can it be expected to salvage more in the long run, compared to regular copy tools on the Amiga, or can better results be obtained with other types of floppy disk drives?

What are your experience?
