It was the case... Indeed, the Shalaevsky emulsion practically does not read discs
written on Speccy (only formatted on a PC). I did this:
1. I format the disk on Speccy in RDS v*.* without any bells and whistles (Interleave,
LagTrack)
2. I write some commander (Monster Com 2) and software on it that needs to be
overtaken.
3. On a PC I format another disk under TR-Dos (for example, in HoFormat). Better than 3.5"
4. In the emulator that reads disks in real time, I run the commander (see ^^^^)
5. I copy all the software from 'A' to 'B'.
6. And finally, in the Shalaevsky emule I create a file from the disk.

I also heard that if you write Speccy programs to a disk formatted on a PC, then
you can overtake them in the Shalaev emulator. But it didn’t work for me...

It’s not enough! v0.12and copy everything you need.

I format it with HOFORMAT. On the Spectrum I copy everything I want onto this disk,
after that into the emulator. Everything works and everything is readable.
