Hi,
If you remember, I told here about some crazy Pascal disk that I can't read.
I have more information about these.
In fact, they ara *not* 400 k disk, but 360 k disk. The drive we used is an
OM-D30V, that is the very first 3.5-inch drive, from Sony, according to
http://www.macgeek.org/museum/sony400kdrive/
The drive is connected with a Apple IIe thru a very rare EICON Research
card. A special Pascal Driver (SONY.CODE) let Pascal 1.1 format and use the
disk (SIDE 0, 720 blocks).
The problem is that we cannot read anymore these discs -the EICON Card seems
to be dead-.
I think that 400 ou 800 k Apple Drive cannot read these 360 k (either on an
Apple II or an Macintosh).
If anybody have information -or may be an EICON Card and drive- about how
reading and writing these disk, thanks in advance !
