Would a DSHD floppy drive with a DSHD disk in
it look like a 5.25"
DSQD drive to an Altos 580? IOW, could I just plug it in and go?
That's a good question. I think that as long as the Altos uses the SA400
(?) floppy bus (like the DSHD drive), it probably will work. I've
read/written DSQD disks using a DSHD floppy drive on a PC just fine.
I'd just give it a shot, you're unlikely to break anything. :)
Crap. I just realized I have to find a 3.5" drive with ID jumpers.
That may very well be a showstopper.
