The drives do, but some operating systems have problems with the filesystem of a single sided disk. As long as you are reading or writing images, there should be no problems.

Re: Problems with GETDISK (and FDSAVE)
Someone advised me to use FDSAVE (of MegaSCSI utils), but this gives the same DOS error...! Are you telling about create diskimages of games? I used FDSAVE to create Illsion City, Fray and another softwares without problems... If you're having problems with yours disks try do use DSKI$ command in BASIC. If it runs good! If not you've a problem... Yes, but then I need to write such a program myself! ;-) Another solution is use F2D, D2F and others programs from Xelasoft(?) for work with XSA files. But I need a DSK file, not an XSA file... Grtjs, Manuel ((m)ICQ UIN 41947405) PS: MSX 4 EVER! (Questions?

Problems with GETDISK.
Hi I have some problems with GETDISK (a program to create diskimages on MSX). I wanted to make a diskimage of SD-Snatcher (cracked English version) and some other games, like Testament. The problem is: when I try to use GETDISK, I get a DOS error: *** Not a DOS disk. What can I do to overcome this? And according to someone's list, Ys-3 should be able to run from harddisk also, but it hangs after pressing the SPACE key during the intro... (game-screen is loaded and then it hangs...)
