5,25" floppies question
« on: August 14, 2010, 06:38:21 PM »
I never used those big floppy drives before, but remember reading you need to run some 'driver' so that workbench can use them (something about disk change). What about software like x-copy? can it read/write 5,25" just like 3,5" ?

ok, i tried it and it seems to work just like 3,5".
but I have a feeling it should not be pushed beyond track 39.

now I need some software to backup C64 diskettes, Amiga can do it, right?

thanks, but i just found this on aminet:

it seems all that is needed is to slow down ordinary 5,25" drive with a potentiometer.
