To a
"hints" list I would add that I had some trouble finding a "good"
floppy controller to use with it.
Most PC FDC's are limited in their ability to access formats not native
to the PC - This is not a limitation of the ImageDisk program, it is a
limitation of the FDC implemented on most PC's. I've heard from a
few people that the Adaptec cards work well.
That is correct. I have more than once had my fingers in PC's which could
not read MS-DOS 320K disks, not to speak of 160K.
You could also try to find a MicroSolutions Compaticard IV. I once managed
to create an 8" DSSD disk containing MS-DOS 3.something. The PC could even
boot from it!
I wonder if there would be enough interest in that card to make a small
production run feasible. According to
http://www.micro-solutions.com/ they
are no longer in business, so maybe a reverse engineering thing might be
possible ?
