[comp.sys.ncr] PCDSK for 1.2 Meg disks

vernon@ssi400.lonestar.org (03/07/90)

In response to:

Bomans>Is it possible to write to MS-DOS diskettes formatted for
Bomans>80 tracks, 15 sectors/track (High Density 1.2 MB)?
Bomans>Is there a pcdsk or similar utility to accomplish this ?

Based on  the documentation I have  read on the  drivers for the
floppy drives in the Towers, they only support the 360 KB drives.

On our Tower 32/600, the 'pcnodes' program, which makes the device nodes
for 'pcdsk', goes up to 80 tracks, 9 sectors.  This is more than 360K,
but, unfortunately, it is not 1.2MB.
