Automatically adjust track speed in format decoders

See original GitHub issue

I bought and updated the greasewazle v4 to version 1.0 I also successfully created an img file with a 3.5" floppy. Then I tried to read 5.25 disks: I have both DSDD(360) and DSHD(1200) flopppies that were successfully read on a very old PC last week.

Command:

gw.exe read --format ibm.1200 --retries=7 "C:\_floppy\mydisk.img"

This does not work and fails all the sectors. Any suggestion?

There’s also a fix (and build) in the greaseweazle-firmware repository which fixes the behaviour of gw pin get.

Could you give this build a try with your 360 rpm drive and 360kB disks, read and write. You should not need the --rpm 300 option any more. Artifact download link is at bottom of the linked page: https://github.com/keirf/greaseweazle/actions/runs/1751874292
