[cctalk] Re: 8" DSDD to USB MSD?

I have had better luck with a P-III motherboard that connects to the 34-50 pin adapter in the middle and 8" on the other end. This way you can trick the BIOS of the computer to think the 8" drive is a 1.2Mb 5 1/4". With this set up I have made a bootable DOS 6.22 8" disk, so I know it works. THEN use the USB port to copy files as a separate drive. The USB to floppy devices are pretty good for 3.5" but I would not expect a direct adapter from the 8" to be reliable.
