Hi again all!
I first want to thank oll of you for being so helpful and up front with me regarding my purchase of my "new" IBM5150. I am definitely thankful for all of the advice and assistance you have all given.
Now, onto the reason I'm here today. I want to buy and install a 4 1/4" floppy disk drive into my current PC to create and write disk images. First, though. I forgot whare I read that the 5150 uses a 360 Kb floppy Disk. What is the disk designation for the IBM? Is is Dual Side, Single Density, Double Density or what? secondly, if I can find a drive for my Windoes 7 computer, (I do have a floppy drive header on my mobo) How do I configure it to write the floppy in the correct format? Is there anything else I need to worry about? Can I also use the same drive to write diskettes for my Apple lle?
Thanks for reading.
