Vintage Synth Repair

Rich @ Route 66
We have new 2006 replacement drives for the SQ80, but they will require DSDD 720K floppy disks as the SQ80 only has a double-sided, double-density FDC controller chip on board.  Unfortunately, this can never be changed. But... I have known SQ80 users to use HD 1.44 MB disks by performing the 'tape over the hole' trick.

Subject: [vintagesynthrepair] SQ-80 Floppy upgrade


Hi!

I'd like to be able to be able to read/write HD 3.5" 1.44 Mo floppies 
instead of the default DD on my ensoniq SQ-80. Is that possible? And do 
I have to mess with the OS codes? If so, how can I do that?

Thanks in advance guys
