Hi Todd Yes of course you are right. Sorry if I misslead anybody. But it has a lot of stages. You have to format a new 720K floppy first. It only works in TRUE DOS. Only 720K floppies can be read and used. You still have to copy the files to the HDD after. Root-A-Ripper No floppies needed Will read both 720K AND 1.44M floppies Copies files straight to the HDD.
