Not sure what "drivetec" is, but the drive I
used was an IBM "2.4MB"
floppy drive. I guess I didn't make that clear in my message. The
"2.4MB" drive read 1.2MB floppies just fine on the Catweasel, but the
2.4MB floppies (which read ok as microcode floppies) didn't produce
useful results.
Never had to deal with these, but I suspect they're just 1Mbps
conventional 96 tpi drives.
What Catweasel are you using? If you want, I'll send you a little
DOS code to create a sample file and I'll be willing to take a look
at it.
Were these ever used on anything but the 3174?
Drivetek/Kodak drives are a whole different smoke. 192 tpi, for the
2MB one, with positioning being done via an embedded servo setup on
the factory-formatted disks. They'll also read regular 360K floppies
just fine--what's interesting is that 360K mode is 600 RPM.
