Hello, I have found a group of old floppy disks (pre-1994 I think). These floppy disks have only 1 hole like the Amiga floppy disks used to have. However the software on them is for a Windows machine I think. My question is; did Windows machines accept floppy disks with 1 hole? and if yes, is there a way how I can read the files on these floppy disks? maybe on my amiga (I tried from a Pentium III, but this tells me to format the disks).
My floppy drive on my xp pc accepts DD and HD disks. However, it can't format a DD disk itself unless I do it from the command prompt directly.
Your disks may not be pc formatted disks (you said so yourself). They could be atari disks or acorn disks, or they may not even be formatted at all.
There's a tool called OmniFlop.exe (Windows program) that can probably identify the disks and read their contents. I used it to get data from my old acorn disks.
