Hi Russell, RA> > Sorry, but you will NOT be able to read IBM disks with a 1541 RA> > drive at ALL.. RA> You've done it again! :) RA> It CAN be done - just takes a hardware mod. Details please ! I don't beleive at can be done (at least not as "easily" as you imply). These drives were never designed for MFM capability so the "mimimum" you'll have to do is add new controller circuitry, new decoding circuits, plus the ROM routines.. In short you would be building a new drive. Even then you are stuck with single sided disks.
