![]() ![]() And when man has hard drive uses floppies not much If PC and Atari floppies have similar head setting, then usually floppy written on PC is well readable. But that is troublesome without hard drive. In case of floppy images - and they are only way for titles with RAW data (so, no visible files) imaging SW always has format option.īut here we have problem with some - those using WIndowses floppy driver - thay can not handle 800K (or 400) - like Wdfcopy.īasically, for better readibility, formatting and writing on Atari self is best way. ![]() On Atari you can use many programs for format, which offer diverse formats, buit not all will be readable in Windows, PC and I mean here not readable even with special SW. With special SW it is possible to add/extraxt files. Macintosh Floppy Supports 400K, 800K, and 1.4MB floppy disk images, in raw. Worst is that user gets not proper info that such format is not supported by Windows. Both devices can display seven files or folders on the screen underneath the title bar. The OLED screen of the wDrive is about the same size as the Floppy Emus. When compared side by side the wDrive is significantly smaller than the Floppy Emu. But we have here something confusing and really stupid in fact - Windows XP and later usually recognises 800KB floppy, but you can not read or write files correct from/on it. The status LED of the wDrive is red compared to the Floppy Emus green. It's been awhile since I've messed with stuff like that so I can't really point you toward one. ![]() If you are trying to copy files off one of those 800-830k disks onto a 720k disk, you need to find a formatting program that will allow you to format a 720k disk to a larger capacity. It is not possible to read floppies which are formatted using GCR (group code recording), which is used by Apple II and Macintosh computers (800k disks). Accordingly, they attempted to introduce a new 3.5' 800k floppy disk format for the Apple II series as well, to eventually replace the 140k Disk II format. So basically if you are trying to copy one of those extended format disks to a 720k disk, it should fit with no problem because the formatting on it will be copied too. In 1984, Apple had opted for the more modern, Sony-designed 3.5' floppy disk in late-model Lisas and the new Apple Macintosh.
