Kev,

Blame Mark for this one ... he said you had all the answers!  :-)


I have a heap of 80 track 5.25 floppies in CoCo format, that I need to get to
40 track DSDD 5.25 format. (I don't have a 5.25 80 track drive).

Barry (who only has 80 track drives) has offered to convert the disk for me.
He'll be using his new TC70 to accomlish this task.

First question:

Can an 80 track drive be set up to read/write to a 40 track diskette?

If so ... what values need to be dmoded?

Steve
