Interest in Teac FD235J drives and FC-1 boards?

I wouldn't mind a couple of FC-1 but I bet the price would be much more than I can afford. bill ________________________________ From: cctalk <cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org> on behalf of Chuck Guzis via cctalk <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2018 2:00 AM To: Fred Cisin via cctalk Subject: Re: Interest in Teac FD235J drives and FC-1 boards?

In the end, I don't think 2.88M distribution would have helped. Software was growing too fast. I did encounter people saying that they had great results using HD media as ED in some host-sense IBM drives. I told them to check back with me in a couple of years as to the readability of those disks. I've still got one of the 20MB Brier floppy drives, though heaven knows why... It's funny--I routinely get HD 5.25" disks written on old DD CP/M machines that read just fine, by and large. And lots of WP 3.5" floppies (240K FM) written on HD media and never had run across one that couldn't be read. But ED on HD media seems like more of a hope than reality to me. --Chuck
