Unfortunately this means that most of my equipment is still packed away in boxes which I don’t have access. Until then, I am still mooching a place to live from my folks. The long move is just about over, and as long as everything goes smoothly, I only have a bit over a month to go before I can start moving into the new digs. Sorry about that! So many moving parts in my life over the last several months. Look at the IBM PC formats about 2/3 done under "logical formats".Only 360k single side are the 3.5" 720k floppies written to just one side.This release has been a very long time in the making. I have a few very old early PC DD/SD floppies formatted to 160k single sided, they can only be read proper in a true old 360k floppy from my experience with them and would never try to reformat to that spec or a 360k using a HD floppy drive.Īdded: edit: check this wiki (which may not be 100% accurate but close enough). ![]() Yeah there are some odd quad Density single sided that are 320k per side that use 80 tracks per side (like 1.2MB HD disks) but those were not used for PC's much IIRC. Never heard of a 360K single side for PC usage (not that knew at the time but is why I asked if for CP/M or other) ![]() ![]() Only the PC 180k are single sided double density (called SS/DD or 1S/2D) and 40 tracks per side AFAIK. As for old PC floppy formats know there are some odd formats but I thought for PC's the 360k disk were all Double Density/Double Sided (called DS/DD or 2S/2D).
