5 1/4 inch floppy disks and Commodore PET
« on: November 25, 2006, 10:23:10 AM »
Hi all,
If I was able to get hold of a 5 1/4 inch old-style floppy disk drive with a applicable interface, would it be possible to get it to work (I.e. At least read floppies - Im guessing that the device file will need some adjustments) with Amiga OS3.0? Would OS3.0 be able of reading floppies that have have been used with a Commodore PET?

If yes, then, would it be possible to load up old files from 5 1/4 inch floppies that used to be used on a Commodore PET and execute them via a emulator such as VICE?

Any thoughts much appreciated,

Hodgkinson.
