Look for the media ID sensor.
Look for the drive model number.
install it, and see what it does.
In a previous thread on separating 5.25 drives there
was mention of testing
for the number of sectors. Does someone know where such a program may be
located?
NUMBER OF SECTORS???????
Drives don't have sectors.
Software to analyze a diskette will NOT necessarily tell you what the
DRIVE is. (a 720K could have been written on a 720K, a 1.4M, or on a
2.8M)
and for those who should be tired of it by now, 1.40625 megabytes is NOT
1.44, 2.8125 megabytes is NOT 2.88
