svhovater Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I've heard rumors of ATR8000 users with 1.44MB floppies (3.5 inch) that were working. Any confirmations? If so, what's the max capacity you're seeing? thanks! Steve (now with a 3-gotek/FF ATR8000 system up and running!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam242 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I used 720K 3.5" floppies with mine for a while years ago. Don't know about 1.44M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilbar Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 They don't do 1.44M. But they you can pick 77 track 1.0M formatting and do that on 1.2M 5.25 drives and I believe on the 3.5" 1.44M drive. Maybe someone here has direct experience. I've only run 360K on 5.25" and 720K on 3.5" disks myself. There are several ATR8000 threads, and I believe this has been discussed on one or more of them previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
