RF542C 5.25" external floppy information?

[spirantho]

Hi,
I'm afraid I can't offer much help with reading those disk images with an Amiga 5.25" drive (though I do have one) - it'd need special software because PC HD drives run at 360 rpm instead of 300 rpm, and TI-99/4(A) disks are FM encoded, not MFM. As for CP/M - that's not a disk format, that's a filesystem. CP/M machines can use any number of different floppy styles. I once wrote a CP/M disk image for my Triumph Adler Alphatronic PC , using a (Windows) PC, I had to try about 40 different formats!

What I can say is that if you have a PCI slot spare, and have enough cash to buy a Catweasel and a PC 5.25" drive, you can read and write all those formats, but you'll possibly have difficulty using a native Amiga drive.

Yes, the Amiga can read all those formats (not certain about the 360rpm bit though), but it would require special coding.

If you need something adding to the Catweasel support, let me know, and I can try and put in support. I'm always looking for new formats to implement - I've already done the common ones!
