Well, as I said it was meant more as a 'wouldn't this be nice' picture, not one of an actual fully functional configuration; still, it wouldn't be impossible...
As an OT aside; one of the things on my list is the opposite challenge, namely to modify the speed of the 3.5" drive from 300rpm to 360, the same as the 5 1/4" HD drive. In the S100 world and elsewhere many systems used 8" drives, which are becoming scarce and expensive (as are the diskettes); as it happens both 5 1/4" and 3.5" HD drives are fully compatible with the 8" formats except for the lower speed of the 3.5" drives. Some 3.5" drives have jumpers to change to 360 rpm and many of us do use them as replacements for 8" drives, but AFAIK none of the dual 3.5/5.25" HD combo drives have that jumper option. m ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Fezzler To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2020 3:14 PM Subject: Re: [M100] DVI replacement floppy drive Nice setup there!

So, installed two 1.44mb drives in my DVI. I don't get 1.44mb or double sided, but I have plenty of media.
