Now another question, is it possible to read the floppies I format on a regular PC?

A While back I posted UK links for local belts. i will forward. On Friday, April 1, 2016, <[email protected]> wrote: Hi guys I was was gifted a TPDD2 and I think the belt is shot. I have Rex installed with TR-DOS rom image installed. My m100 can see the drive and tells me the disk I've inserted isn't formatted. I'm using a 720k floppy, as I assumed given the age, this wouldn't be high density. Anyways, trying to format throws up and error. The drive buzzes and acts like it's trying to do something but can't. I'm guessing this means the built is dead. But I'd like someone with more experience to give me their thoughts.
