I'd like to move files between a Kaypro II and a PC-AT system. I have only SSDD drives currently, although I am led to believe that PC-DOS will read SSDD disks. Is this true? I have an old UNIFORM and MFDISK; of course neither handle PC-DOS. I understand that the current UNIFORM does. Can anyone comment on their experiences with the product used for this purpose? I am planning to try the Micro-Cornucopia PRO-8 upgrade with a pair of Mitsubishi DSQD drives (see M-C Dec.84/Jan.85). How does this work with UNIFORM? Or will it? I'd like to still be able to use these drives to write DSDD disks for the standard 360K PC-DOS format. I'd also like to able to use these drives to write SSDD disks to communicate with a MD2 (unless I can figure how to upgrade that to DSDD). Is this possible, or will I have to retain a DSDD drive and SSDD drive respectively. I gather that the DSDD drive can write SSDD just fine (sales lit. for UNIFORM). The question is whether the 80 tpi drive (QD) can write/read (of course) the 40 tpi disks? Comments? Experiences? Help? Thank you. As I am just getting placed on the mailing list, could you please direct mail directly to me at: BIRKEL@A.CS.CMU.EDU (or, old style, @CMU-CS-A)
