I've been using WinVice 2.4 and been running into a problem: true drive writes don't work right. When I write to a C1571 drive on x128, the error channel reads a syntax error. DIRECTORY afterwards reveals a corrupt directory. At least the disk image doesn't get corrupt. :) I think it occured on x64/c1541 as well. This forced me to use V2.2 instead. I'm pretty sure that V2.4 contains many improvements, but one bad apple spoiled the bunch. :( Can somebody e-mail the VICE team this bug for me with and offer me feedback about this problem?

Do it yourself.
