I don't know which category to file this under; sorry.
I got a Mitsumi D509V, which is a 1.2mb (I think) drive, in hopes of replacing the full-height 360k Compaq drive I've been using in my Windows 7 PC (which has a floppy port on the motherboard). I don't know much about diagnostic utilities but so far I've only been able to format/write images in 360k format but not read back anything [which in fairness I'm not sure I've tested with the 360k drive].
Still, could someone recommend a utility to test the range of this drive's functionality? I have thus far never had a problem using either a 3.5" or the 5.25" drive (from 1985, I think, no less) that I mentioned.
