Pb. archiving HP-150 disks with Teledisk

I tried to use Teledisk 2.16 on an old Olivetti PC but I keep having errors. Right at the beginning when Teledisks tries to detect the floppy format, it detects that it's a double density (which is not correct as it is a single density) and then it says "Drive A: is not ready".
I tried to check my floppy disk controller with testfdc and it gives me this (see attachment). Is it a compatibility problem with my floppy disk drive ? any advice ?

It could be an incompatibility with your floppy controller rather than your disk drive. If the Olivetti has a free ISA slot, try to get an Adaptec AHA 1522A SCSI adapter for it. That includes a floppy controller that's 100% compatible with all the testfdc formats. I have one and have the SCSI turned off and just use the FDC on it.
