Good to see you again! Question though... With the advent of the uIEC, SC2IEC, and Ultimate II+ devices, do the CMD floppy drives really serve a purpose any more? I love my 1581 drive and CMD HD, but other than keeping them on my desk as cool eye-candy, I don't use them any more.
@@commodore4ever haha very cool. I was trying to think of a use case for having so much space to play with, and when you mentioned running a bbs that made a lot of sense. I’m guessing you could store many games on a single disk but they’d have to play nice with each other too
After all these years I finally tested trying to format HD disks as ED and to my surprise, it worked
Good to see you back in the office.
Good to be back. Didn't realize how much I missed it.
nice drive
Thanks 👍
Nice. 👍 Don't have the originals anymore but have picked up clones of the 2K and 4K CMD FD drives. So hard to find ED disks though...
Not sure where I got them but I have 28 ED disks! Lucked out. Just found them all in a box on my shelf.
DS/HD Disks can be formatted as ED if you cover the 2nd hold on the disk. (Not the WriteProtect hole)

Love to you again
Appreciate it!
So are you telling me I can play Street Rods without ever having to turn the disk? xD good work mate
Yes. You can also partition the disk and set each partition as a 1541 disc or 1581, maybe 1571 also but not sure on that one I'd have to check.

Get that thing apart and dump the roms.. get the board scanned so the community can reverse engineer it so more cna be made..
Agreed. I plan on doing just that.
