Best settings for 5.25" 1.2mb Drive and 360k Reading

[NebularNerd]

I have an old Toshiba ND-08DE 5.25" that has stood the test of time and performs flawlessly with making 1.2mb .scp's, however it's making a bit of a fuss with 360k disks.

I'm aware that unlike 3.5" drives, 5.25" cannot tell what the disk is which is why back in the day I used to have both a 360k and 1.2mb drive, but the 360k is no longer with us :(

Making plain .scp of a mastered 360k disk (Norton 4.5) using:
gw.exe --time read --retries=10 --revs=5 "N:\EMU\Floppy Archive\PC\1.scp"

I will get a read of about 70mb in size that HxC correctly identifies as a 360k disk with a layout image as attached, obviously the red is where the drive see too much of the disk. I tried setting the ibm.360 flag but that just gives mountains of read/verify errors.

Does anyone have any recommendations for getting a good clean read or is this the best I can hope for?

In an answer to myself and other reading I found the following worked for getting a clean read. HxC reckons there are no issues despite the odd black spot on the track diagram.

gw.exe --time read --format=ibm.360 --retries=10 --revs=5 --adjust-speed=300rpm --tracks=step=2 "N:\EMU\Floppy Archive\PC\Norton 4.5--2.scp"

This was partly in thanks to a forum post on Atari Age regarding reading lower density disks.

As a possible feature request for the site wiki or even a stickied discussion thread, a dedicated 'Disk/Drive Optimal Read Settings' for various formats would likely help fellow users with getting a great read at the first go, or provide a good jump off point to tweak for their own disk/drive combinations.
