      XPost: alt.comp.lang.borland-delphi, sci.electronics.design       From: BloodyShame@hotmail.com              http://trixter.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/the-diskette-that-blew-trixters-mind/              Kinda interesting.              This describes marking sectors as bad in an interleaved fashion so it might       work on C64 and MS-Dos... fat 12 floppies ?              Question is... does it actually work ?              Makes me wish I still had a C64 to try it out ! :)              Anyway how much thruth is there in this story...              I think C64 floppies worked by burning something onto it... while PC       floppies work with magnetic stuff ?              Or am I mistaken in that part ? ;)              Or is this just a software only trick ? Hmm...              Bye,        Skybuck.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
