Floppy sides?

Hello
My readSector routine can't read a sector if it is on side 1! Why is it so? That means I can't read half the sectors!
Thanx,
Adrian.

Well, from your exceedingly detailed description of the problem, I'd say that the problem is that there's a bug in your code somewhere.
Hope this helps.
(sarcasm aside, there are two places in the floppy command packet that you have to set the head number, did you get both of them? Alternatively, if you're just doing a whole-track read, did you set it up to flip heads once it reaches the last sector of the first side?)
