---- Chuck: You can make your own hard-sectored floppies. Simply take a soft sectored floppy and punch holds in the media ... at the correct spacing, of course. One way to do this is to... ...take the media out of an old, hard-sectored diskette ...use a soft sectored-disk, leaving its media in its envelope ...align the hard-sectored timing hole with the timing hole on the soft-sectored disk ...place both on a spindle, stuck together at their hubs with a tiny bit of double sided tape ...rotate both disks, aligning the hard-sectored disks' holes with the timing hole in the envelope of the soft-sectored disk ...punch a hole through each of the hard-sectored disks' holes, through the soft-sectored disks' media ---- Your right, the older computers are more fun then the newer computers. But then, those were the fun times. -Rick-
