We have a 2100 with the 2.88 floppy drive, by accident we placed a
DSDD 3 1/2 (not a HD - there was only 1 hole on the case - write
protect)
Since we had a recent intermittant drive failure, we have been verifying
readability of the floppies on PC (in the 1.44 format).
The Bad:
We used MTOOLS to write files to the disk - it wrote it, no errors.
Tried to read it with the PC, no good - gibberish, the PC tried to
read it in DSDD format (because there was no HD Hole). When
we placed it back in the rx26, it read the disk fine......
The Good:
The rx26 will format/write to a floppy regardless of what type the
casing
says it is.
The quesion:
Is it (Rx26) supposed to ignore these "holes", even if the media can
handle the higher density format??
