I gather that some one has the Dave Gershwin board working with a 3174. You also need 2.88 format for the 3174 floppies.
Any one modified any
of the floppy emulators To work at this density.
Yes, that?s me but I have had issues with the emulator starting up reliably so
that the 3174 boots.
Actually, the format is 2.4MB (2x 1.2MB). It?s a
5-1/4? format instead of a 3-
1/2? format.
Sorry been working on my PC Server 500, I assume the data rate is double, so the existing
devices are not easily modified?
