Setting the Block Limit over 255 has no effect at all. The software is limited to 0-254 for its block setting. The recommended block limit for the Micropolis 2200 series drives it 240. For the first half of the drive you can get 250 without any problems. (If your drive is not overheating).. When you set the BLF to 400 and you get broken squares during playback, it means that at that portion of the disk, the disk is not able to play back 255 blocks (the limit), 30 times a second. I will leave a more complete message at the end of this thread.
