You used the FF.CFG that I sent you?  I'll email you the actual contents of
the USB drive I use.  Its write protected.

I see there is a Test Floppy Disk option in service disk 1.4 but it's not

Not that I am aware of.

Unrelated but FYI. Switching to Canon will likely cause issues with drive
being detected due to !CHG being on pin 16, Shugart spec is CHG on pin 2.
See my old post. Canon drives and Canon firmware actually seems to
implement the disc change detect test in the service manual, Sony ignores
it.  Which is why sometimes you see grounding pin 16 mentioned.
