That's interesting. It sounds exactly like the results I am seeing
with the FDC emulator.  I had tested the images (from Briza's
collection) in VCC and MESS .129b and they did work. I then created
floppy disks from the images and found that they also worked on real
hardware.

I think I am going to need a version of MESS which has the debugger
features enabled.  Does anyone have a pre-built binary for this (for
use on Win XP)?
