The bandwidth tester now tests bandwidth in both directions. It looks like my
...
default USB port only gets about 500kB/s write bandwidth. However, when plugged
into a port with 850kB/s, I still get underrun errors...

Non-functioning archive checkin: You can only have 120-odd DMA buffers, so my

last 'fix' was in fact non-functional.

So writing now works, but only if USB DMA is enabled. But that breaks reading.
...
I've worked round this in a simple but brute force manner and it now looks as
if reading *and* writing work, more or less. There does still seem to be the
odd bad sector when writing 1440kB disks.

Rework the output fifo to be a bit more correct about the sync signals, which
...
in turn allows the sequencer to lose less time --- this gets the effective
clock rate down to about 1.01us. However we still seem to lose the last sector
on 18-sector disks and there are some disk reads so something is still wrong.

Luckily, we have just enough space in the FPGA to use an actual logic counter,

The IBM encoder now works well enough that my USB floppy drive thinks the disk

is formatted... but has trouble reading sectors above about 1000. Also remember
that encoding MFM needs to keep one bit of state at all times.

You now need to explicitly specify whether flux files get merged or

overwritten, because the old behaviour was weird. Reader uses SqliteFluxSink to
write flux files, rather than raw database accesses.
