Re: [emax] RE: Regarding Floppy Drives

2014-02-06 by Windrumscoggin

So they are drop in replacements?
What is it about the EMU 720k
Rule I've ben reading? About
How modern 
1.44 MB DD drives won't work?
If that be the case then why do HD
Disks used with the OmniFlop driver
Written on Teds machine and EMXP work? Hea only using a a standard 1.44 MB FDD in his PC too
So dar tge disks he's written onnhis machine load into Emax fine

I am assuming because the driver
And floppy code written by eSynthesist
Changes the area/sector in which the data is written to on the floppy disk and how the Emax FDD reads/looks for that data in a special way
If that be the case why not just mod a regular plentiful  TEAC 25hf drive to work in the Emax then just use any old floppy dd in OmniFlop and write the OS that way?
Just an amateurs thoughts here

Thank You for that list!
