ATR8000 and 3.5 inch drives?

[svhovater]

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!

I used 720K 3.5" floppies with mine for a while years ago. Don't know about 1.44M.

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.
