| Jul 29, 2016 at 13:03 | comment | added | robsoft | Thanks @john_e - your final point has got me interested, I've had something similar working once before with a 3.5" floppy out the back of another +3. I think we had to format the disks on a real PC first, but eventually it kind of worked. The things I mostly recall are - a) the floppy light was always on & there was some issue about whether or not we were reading from the right 'side' of the disk, and b) every so often the +3 would complain about an address missing (?) during a file copy - some would seem to work, some not. I was left with the clear impression we were doing something wrong! | |
