You're welcome. :)

But Fred has said this--and I'll repeat it.  You're not guaranteed an
accurate analysis using a 765-based anything--and that's a problem if what
you're trying to do is establish some sort of archival-grade repository of
images.  You can get a bunch of hints issuing a one-sector Read Track using
a very large sector size, but you run the risk of missing a lot.

Cheers,
Chuck
