+Larry Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I have quite a few Happy Compacted Disks that were created with the old version 4 or 5 Happy 810 software and hardware. I was attempting to extract several of the "disks" today -- of course now with a Happy 1050 and Rev 7.1 software. Doesn't seem to work -- the Happy gets as far as trying to extract an entry, but the just spins and the busy light occasionally flashes briefly. Does anyone know if these are supposedly compatible? If they are compatible, then I have a lot of bad disks -or- the track alignment was quite a bit different with the old 810, rendering them unreadable. -Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nezgar Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 In the happy utility software compactor, there is an option "I" to initialize or convert a Happy compactor 810 disk to rev 7 format. Never used it, but this sounds like the ticket. Looks like it's also described in the manual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
