May the Great Power be with you, All!
Subject! Is there even a utility so that turbocharged wheels
can be removed? If anyone has it, then lather it, hello!

Turbocharged VG drives are a terrible thing...
They read any records and write any records,
but ordinary ones read their records with difficulty (the further towards the end of the disk,
the worse), and when they try to overwrite something, they kill sectors...
The PC cannot read a single sector from such a disk. There is only one way out - to restore the discs on non-turbocharged VG (due to poor readability). I have 50 turbo disks with 2704 sectors, I would like to
overtake them... Maybe it’s still possible to make such a utility, huh?
All the best, Alexey.

Hello, Alex!
It’s quiet outside the window, and I’m sitting and writing a response to a letter written from Alex Baskakov to
All Fri Feb 20 1998 at 08:09...

This is a long time ago. True hardware. It is necessary to use the normal
version of turbocharger. There was all this in some kind of spectrophone.
With all sorts of regards and wishes.

You misunderstood something... Either you have a bad turbo, or the VGshka is being stupid, or the disks are so good... Everything has been working fine for me for many years now. Both “on” and “with” IBM everything is readable normally...

Do a normal turbo drive, and don’t suffer. ;))
Good luck! Evgeny.

Yes, I asked about the utility for reading such disks...
So, is it a bummer?
All the best, Alexey.
