I'm working on a 5150 for a friend. It has 64k, monochrome monitor
and two 5 1/4" drives. The unit works, but we want to test the drives
and make it useable. Perhaps run a few simple games or app's and save
some basic programs to disk.
What can I expect for hardware and software to make these images to floppy ?
I have a few PC's that will boot to DOS 6.22, but I don't have any
5 1/4" drives. What drive could I buy that would format a 160k disk
with the proper format commands or image program ?
This image 'hardware system' should be compatible with any ShareWare
software images that may have been archived from the past.
Back in the day, I'd just dial up @ 1200 on my USR and get what I wanted ;-)
