Assuming of course that you have double sided disk drives and that all wires in
the cable (and pins in the connectors) are in place then all you need to do is
build a boot disk with the descriptors for 40 track double sided disks. You do
not have 80 track capable drives if you have been running RSDOS on them. Here
I have 2 40 track and 1 80 track 2 siders. The 80 track is a 5 1/4 some days
and a 3 1/2 on others. Have not gotten around to making one or the other
permanent and the 3 1/2 will probably see very little use until I move to OSK.
For downloading - no problem in OS9 or RSDOS or even MSDOS so long as you have
the software to swap files from one format to another. Several programs here
to do that.
