Do I need to find a special driver >or something? The drive works fine as a double density... > You need to buy a 1.44 meg disk controller board such as the one available from DreamPark Development ( the PowerDrive). The ST's floppy disk controller WD1772 cannot handle high density format. Diamond Format, which is a formatter distributed to the public and with Diamond Back II, was specifically modified to format high density drives like the PowerDrive. Diamond Back II also fully supports 1.44 meg drives in all program functions. ____ ____ /\/\/\ Bob Luneski /\/\/\ \/\/\/ Diamond Back II Support Hotlines: boblu@tekgen.BV.TEK.COM \/\/\/ \/\/ Genie: B.LUNESKI1 CompuServe: 76635,2310 \/\/ \/ \/
