Fwd: RE: 8250 LP Double disk drive for the commodore 64

Can 8050 diskettes be read on the 8250 (can the 8250 sense single sided diskettes)? Which PET drive is compatible with 1571? Ethan...I've accumulated a lot of PET stuff, including a dozen 8032's, a dead SuperPET, some drives (including an 8250) and 3-8K PETs. Love to hear what you have? I wish I had some software! -Chandra -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-admin(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-admin@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Ethan Dicks Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 9:18 PM To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Fwd: RE: 8250 LP Double disk drive for the commodore 64 --- Lance S <semlj001(a)hotmail.com> wrote: The 8050 is a dual single-sided drive with full-height floppy mechanisms (Tandon or Micropolis, IIRC); the 8250 is virtually the same, but with double-sided mechs. The 8250LP is a newer version of the 8250, somewhat different internally, and uses half-height drives. I have a little of everything for the PET (including hard drives), *except* the 8" drives and the 8250LP, so I can't describe many details. -ethan
