If there is it will be much easier and
cheaper to make disks for my Rainbow.
As Chuck noted, I'd think you'd want to
use 360K media -- not DSHD diskettes...
and ensure that the 1.2MB drive is
slowing down to 300RPM with a data rate
of 250KHZ.
These features will depend on the 1.2MB
drive you have, as well as your FDC and
imaging software.
