That would mean that the drive generates a "fake" index pulse signal for the controller, since no drive would ever put a photo sensor on the opposite side.Actually, this is absolutely not a controller problem. This is only a matter with the drive. Some drives will internally require that the index signal is detected to return any data at all, while other drives will not require the index signal to be detected prior to returning data.
