Re: [prophet2000] Prophet 2000 disk format?

2008-03-14 by ac

This has been discussed a few times on this list - check the archives.

From the little that we know, the news has always been that this is
not possible. The physical formatting of the disk is not compatible
with "modern" floppy drives. This could of course be wrong as I've no
idea where this originally came from.

Good luck though! This is definately something we'd all find amazingly useful.

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
