very nice demo, especially the whole source release as well as the demo toolchain

For the soundtrack, I kinda "reversed" and re-sequence this track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTEgF49Vxew which I appreciate a lot.
I am happy to share the code.
About the FDC routine, it does not manage read errors (like re-step the track, shoe cleanning, things I understood Atari routine does...)
It perfectly works on my STe but it seems some people have troubles with it.
I am curious if it comes from the FDC routine in itself (that does not perform retry steps ?),
or if it comes from the main demo sequencing as I have interlaced sync effects with parts where loading are performed (and timing is quite tight).

About RNF error, if I well understand, FDC has ever tried 5 times (5 revolutions) => do you step the head in this case ?
To clean the head, do you perform something like step track -1, +2, -1 ? or -1, +1 ?
