He sent me a note that it (a 1571) does. I think I'll send a new unit out, as I can't imagine why the SW would cause this issue.

Thank you for think along Dan.
But I use my 1571 just with the serial cable.
So no parallel cable needed.

Hello,
After installing the *.101 version I still got messages.And my led is constant blinking also when it's doining "nothing".
1. Unplug all cables from the zoomfloppy. You wrote that you don't use a parallel cable, so that's probably only the usb cable to the computer and the serial cable to the floppy drive.2. No need to reboot the computer, but a power cycle for the floppy drive couldn't hurt.3. Reconnect only the serial cable and the usb cable to the zoomfloppy and plug the usb cable into the computer.4. The run "LIBUSB_DEBUG=9 cbmctrl status 8" and post the output. But please first paste the output into a text file and then attach that file, instead of pasting it all into your message. That makes both the log and your message easier to read.

That's weird. I don't have an idea what might be the problem.
Martin, do you have an idea what might be going on here?

It is here:

If the people installed a libusb1 based version of OpenCBM, they can
still have the old driver.
If they have used the official versions which are libusb0 based, the old
driver would not work at all (as long as they did not use libusbK, but
that was never recommended)

libusb0 does not even compile at the moment (because there was an
misplaced #endif in opencbm/lib/plugin/xum1541/xum1541.c), so it is
clear you cannot test it. ;)

Hi Spiro / Martin,I tried so many things so I'm not sure about the driver.But I did something else, I tried to uninstall the Zoomfloppy like Pete suggested. That was very difficult cause it came every time back. Long story short, I managed to get the Zoomfloppy reported back with the yellow exclamation mark in the device manager.Then I installed Sipro's *.101 version. Now I did get the red warning sign what I didn't get before. After Installing the Zoomfloppy it is in another place in the device manager. Before it was: something like libusb-win32 folder name, now it is under a folder named: USB-Devices. So there is some change now in the device manager.Then some testing, at first it looks very promising. Reacting on all commands without error messages, and finally no blinking light anymore, YESSSBut there was something else going on. After redoing some commands the "status" command gives different outcomes one time it's right "73,cbm dos v3.0 1571,00,00" when I give the command again it says "00, ok,00,00". After a reset command it is okay.So after the first status command it is okay but as soon as I do another command (any command) it keeps saying " 00, ok,00,00" until I do a reset command.Any idea what this is, I made some reports, first 2 are the "commands" without and with debug. The other 2 showing the "status" problem.(This is there reason why I start the reports now first with the "status" command)How stable/unstable is it now?Many thanks,Ruben

....and another error occured with NIBWRITE: it worked before and now I get this error: Successfully loaded G64 fileError loading plugin 'libusb0.dll': Kan opgegeven module niet vinden. (126)Is your X-cable properly configured?
Yes, grab the latest binaries from https://c64preservation.com/files/nibtools and you should be good. Spiro's latest setup installs the the amd64 OpenCBM if you have x64 OS, so grab the amd64 build of nibtools.I also had to drop a copy of the libusb 1.0 dll in the folder with nibtools, but that is probably just due to a path error on my setup.

Hi Guys,
Today I started again to test the ZF.
I created a disk with NIBWRITE and it worked great.
After that I tried to do a NIBREAD but suddenly the ZF wouldn't respond any more like in the beginning.
Only reacts on CBMCTRL RESET and nothing else.
I tried everything, disconnect everything, reboot pc, use other usb port, other 1571 drive. de-installed the ZF driver. Installed again with *.103.
I don't get why I have so many problems with the ZF. One moment working, the other moment nothing working.
I created a log hope you guys know what is going on.
Have you tried if the drive works i.e. in a C64, after this incident?
which drive is it?
does the drive respond in any other way when you try a cbmctrl
dir 8, blink, bump whatever?,
and is it set to device 8?
can you try this installer instead?
https://retro-commodore.eu/files/downloads/Tools/OpenCBM%20and%20Tools/
it uses an older opencbm (4.99.98 if I remember correctly). it's not an official installer and not supported by spiro etc,
but then again, I've had loads of positive feedback from people
using it.
Looks to me as if the ZF can't communicate with the floppy drive. Are you sure the floppy cable is ok? A bad contact might explain why it suddenly stopped working.

@ Martin: Yes I tried everything, also another IEC cable. Another Drive, all works fine on my C64. So it has to be the ZF. Could it be some loose contact on the ZF PCB? If so, is it not strange that cmbctrl reset still works!? Just like I started.....

If so, is it not strange that cmbctrl reset still works!? Just like I started.....Well, for the reset to go through only one line has to work, so that doesn't mean the rest of the cable is ok. But if it works on a C64, then it's probably not the cable. Btw, what do you mean by "cbmctrl reset" "works" : Does the drive light come on and the motor spin up? Or do you just imply that because there's no error message?Could you please post the output of "cbmctrl status 8" with LIBUSB_DEBUG=9 set? (Just to be sure, but I doubt that the USB communication is the problem).

Hi Martin,
Thanks again, but this is way to complicated for me....
I have ordered a promicro version on ebay and will resume testing to see where the problem is.
I will inform when it has arrived and did some testing.

There was a bug in 1571 SRQ mode that was introduced in v8 in 2018 (or 2017?). In any case, upgrade to the latest firmware as of Sept 2019 and you’ll be fine.
