[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Epson floppy drive problem...

spierk@cs.rpi.edu (Kevin Spier) (02/27/91)

I have an Epson floppy drive that I got mail order (no doc)with a
model number of SMD-300 (part number indicates it is actually an
SMD-340). Does anyone know if this is a 1.44MB drive or a 720KB drive?
It seems to be willing to format 720KB floppies (no notch hole) at
1.44MB which I thought was not possible. Is this because the floppy is
setup (in CMOS) as being 1.44MB. Is this drive screwed up? I have to
go get some high density 3.5s and try but I am curious if someone out
there knows via the model #.

Thanks and please e-mail directly to me since this is probably a low
interest question.
