I allways clean my disks before making an image. But this disk sounds like someone is trying to strangle a cat when putting it in the drive!!
Zogging Hell wrote:Could be the paper disk cleaner thing in there is breaking up or snagging on the disk surface somehow. Unless there are visible scratches it may well be fixable. You could try breaking the disk open down the join if you're not worried about it and replacing the paper thingy with one from a donor disk (or just getting rid of it permanantly, but the former is the better option). While the disk is open you could give it a good clean with a cotton bud and alcohol if it looks dirty.

It fit on two disks. Second disk may be OK (at least it displays the boot message: "Wrong disk - Insert disk 1").
Not sure you really want this, AtariZoll. If so, let me know and I'll provide you a link to download it.

I Post here fixed floppy A STX image. Note that it works only in Hatari 1.8 . There is some tricky protection and anti hacker code in . I think that DrCoolZic can analyze protection - it is on track 1, and OK. Seems same on both floppies.

So it seems to be a problem of config?

You should check longer. It starts with TOS 1.04 for instance, but will freeze later, at credit screen.
And little headache for you: it drives IKBD chip crazy. In Steem SSE 3.7Beta when 6301 emul. is on can not navigate first menu. Talking about version which is fixed, and works well in Steem 3.2 (except that can not return to Desktop) and Hatari, but same problem appears on Falcon too. I need more tests on real HW, and then will post it here.
