You may have to loan your drive and disks to someone with a Pascaladaptercard and IIe or lower to copy it to 5.25 - 140k or 3.5 - 800k. Bill @ GarberStreet Enterprises http://garberstreet.netfirms.comAgain, it was a long time ago... I thought my AE HD floppy was able to read/format 400k floppies. Maybe it was system 5.0.4... It could have been my VTech UDC. Somehow I remember *something* reading and formatting 400k floppies.Probably you're thinking of Oz-Dos. It makes a 400k I think on each side of the 800k disk running a hacked version of DOS 3.3. I've tried it but I can't seem to make it work on the SuperDrives. I might need to attach an 800k drive to get it to work, but then I would have to make it drive 1 on that slot and wouldn't be able to boot a 1.44 disk. Seems the more I do to improve things the more complicated it becomes. Oh well, at least the MicroDrives are what they claim they are, Thank God. ;-) Bill @ GarberStreet Enterprises http://garberstreet.netfirms.com
Nope. Never ran Oz DOS.As I said, *something* in the GSOS GUI environment was able to deal with 400K floppies. I don't seem to be able to handle it any more. I don't know if it was the Pascal FST or a combination of factors I mentioned earlier.
I remember the dialogue box clearly. It asked for the size (in K) of the floppy. It also asked for the interleave (4:1 or 2:1) and the file system (ProDOS and something else).
