HxC Gotek can read but not write

[Lazarini]

Hi
I'm trying to replace a TEAC FD-235HF 6540 in an industrial knitting machine (Universal MC-729).
The machine runs it's control system over what seems to be a PDOS operating system running in a Force Computers CPU.
The floppy disks used to transfer data to and from the machine are not directly readable in WIndows, but only through a software provided by the manufacturer.
So far, I was able to make a dump from a real floppy disk with the HxC software and save it to a .HFE file. With the file saved in a flash drive, the Gotek locates it, and the machine is able to read it's contents and load the programs from it. However, saving to it is not possible. There's no error during the saving process, The file simply isn't there after it.
The same behaviour is observed when reading from and saving to the disk image in Windows using the software from the manufacturer.
Is there any solution to the problme i'm facing? Any ideias on what to try and fix it?

Hi,

My dad has a Universal MC-748 and is desperately looking for a copy of the start-up floppy disk (he is 80 years old and uses the machine to make a living). Is there a way for you to share the disk file for your Universal knitting machine with me?

Hi! Do You mean UX1-UX2-UT-UU floppy image or whole physical diskette set?

Which one of these and what version do You need. I think we have 2.34

Regards,
Martin

Thanks Martin for the response.

It says "UT-Disk V1.67e" on it. I assume V1.67e refers to the version. We can try a newer version to see if it works.

This is what it says on it:
