You could make several reads and “move” track files between reads with different drives to repair a disk which has non-overlapping bad tracks when read with two different drives.Later decoding algorithms could possibly remedy decoding flaws or increase decoding performance, and you can benefit from this without re-reading your physical media.You can re-use the STREAM files and reprocess them with different sector image settings – this could be helpful if your emulator of choice happens to “want” a different type of image file, without resorting to further conversions from already-stripped-down (information wise) sources.This may be important for copy protected software for example. At a later stage you can convert these into DRAFT files which are smaller, and retain the high resolution flux data including gaps, sync bytes, protections and noise which don’t appear in the sector images thus later allowing you to access it “more closely resembling the original”.There are several good reasons to keep your STREAM files if you can –
The STREAM files recorded by the Kryoflux may be bulky, and you might wonder why you would keep them if the data you are really interested in is in the sector images anyway (and was read correctly). Okay, so after all of that, you have your images – but what to do next? It may not be obvious to all, so I felt like I should at least make a little note about how to deal with them.
