I've downloaded it.
But Disk Image of Disk 1 / Disk 3 seems to be bad dumped or dumped incompletely.

This must be redumped! (Disk 1 and Disk 3)

Checked with WinImage. Files can be read, seems normal, and I can re-save whole disk. What's the problem, ibmpc5160, and how can I check it?

If you can dump Disk 1 and Disk 3 by DCOPY.EXE or Teledisk from original disk, thanks.

Only disk 1 and disk 3 are different from my copied disk.

WINIMAGE is simple, but if any sector has error, Winimage seems to ignore the track which include bad sectors.

But if you can dump by WINIMAGE, can you dump it again?

Sorry for being too vague. I doesn't have real disks. I mounted existing Abandonia images and tried to read this virtual floppy with WinImage, that's all. If you say that WinImage skips errors even with real disks, obviously, it's impossible to detect anything with the virtual ones.

Well, I have another source of such disks, but I fear it could have the same problem too, as they seemingly dumped with the same WinImage. I will send them to you anyway.

Also, I am asking again: what's the difference between "proper" and "improper" copies? Where must I look to see the problem?

I also have copied disk of Curse of Azure bond.
I compared my disks with uploaded one.
Disk 1 and Disk 3 are different from each other.
If you have another dumped one, can you upload it?

I have both 1.1 and 1.2. But it seems, you have them too. :) I haven't other 1.0, unfortunately.

After some research I found though that this (Abandonia) disks are attributed to Geezer (I hate you, Abandonia database!). His last activity recorded year ago, and his last forum post is at 2012 though. :( But try to contact him maybe?

I'll dig them out for you.

Geezer

Ok, thanks.

If you can help me, thanks very much.

My disk 1 is also modified with just a few sector.

I got also the original European 5.25" disks, but no working drive atm.
