Is a PeeCee floppy controler unable to write this format? I can setup a MicroVAX with a RX02 clone that can format, read and write single density 8" floppies. Though, I know that the RX02 double density format is somewhat strange. (IIRC single density headers with double density data.) Would it be possible to replace the 8" floppy in the Tek 8560 with a 5.25" floppy? 5.25" floppy media are somewhat easier to get. I already used a 5.25" floppy on that RX02 clone. So it should work. If "everything fails" there is still the DiscFerret as a "last hope". -- \end{Jochen} \ref{http://www.unixag-kl.fh-kl.de/~jkunz/}
