Emax

I don't recall. If the Emax II has a format function I probably used that.

      So did you format the HD floppy to the 780kb format with Omniflop?

I am curious to try that. The drive I have in my EMAX II is a replacement drive from a PC, it should have enough power to write an HD floppy. : )

Because the HD magnetic media (coating) requires more power to be written to than DDDS.



If your DDDS drive does not have enough magnetic writing power the data you record will be unstable and stop working sooner than if written to DDDS disks (or not work at all... like one of our members found out).



I myself have never had a problem with HD disks used as DSDD in my Emax II or in my many Atari ST computers over long periods of time.



At this point it would be hard to say if you are better off using new HD disks or DDDS if the DDDS have been sitting on a shelf for 10+ years in unknown storage conditions (??? anybody?)



Are DDDS disks still made new?
