enigma: 
: Issues:
: Track 17 Sec 2 misses beginning of header, 
: remains of header are visible.
: Track 17 Sec 3 has very short sync 3

: Repair:
: Created Header for sector 2 considering the remaining data for the header trail.
: Used same sync length and fill gcr from sec 1
: Set sync of sec 3 to 31. 

: Cause:
: Disk is mastered with only 8 fill bytes in the header/data trail (normal is 10).
: Thus, when writing with 1541 there is not enough space to write a sector back to the original disk and it will overwrite the header of the following sector.

Do NOT write save games to the original disk !
