Re: [fuse-emulator-devel] cannot format single side TRDOS disk

[Szász G. <sz...@hu...>]

Hello,

If i remember well, all format "emulated"... please try a "fresh" release. If no changes please write some more detail (a bug on SF?) and i try to find the problem. BTW there are a lot of patch around the floppy disk/drive "subsystem" in the tracking system waiting to commit :(

What about "normal disk drives"? :) And "normal disks"? At that time there are "a lot of" single sided disk drives. Yes after the '90 (i think mainly the russian clones) uses "normal" PC-AT 3.5" floppy drives (2 headed) with "double sided" disks. But "douple sided" disks (or even "flippies") can be used in "single headed" drives too (as Alan wrote).

Theoretically Betadisk can uses single head, double density drives.

BTW the "flip disk" feature is a "general" for all disk interface in fuse.

Cheer,
Gergely
