[fd-dev] OT - Old Floppies

Wed, 11 Dec 2002 00:00:41 -0800

Hello everyone,

My wife and I are throwing out an old Amiga 500, and I've found several dozen 720KB floppies (which I can quite happily put to use), but I've also found about 3 times as many disks labelled as single-sided (these are 3.5" floppies, so that was surprising by itself). The question is, I formatted one of those single-sided floppies on my Windows computer, and neither Windows or Scandisk complained about any read/write errors... so is it actually possible to use those floppies on my PC? And if so, what capacity should I format them as? (They're labelled as having a 500KB capacity, and they have 135 TPI).
Thanks in advance for any help,

Paul Case
