3 1/2 inch floppy disk drive
Did a little searching here for a 3 1/2 inch floopy disk drive to access some old pds basic programs created back in the day. Was thinking of using DosBox and it to review some old programs. Not much info here, so
Question: 1. Anybody using this type of drive to access vintage programs, if so what drive would you recommend? 2. I did find one on Newegg very cheap that when reading reviews someone indicated it was auto recognized and worked well with Ubuntu. https://www.newegg.com/p/0N6-004E-00002 With security the way it is today, have any of you purchased from "Newegg" using CC? Have you had any trouble contacting their customer serv etc? Last edited by frcc; 7th February 2020 at 06:04 PM. Reason: spelling |

I have a 3.5" floppy internal on this machine with OpenBSD 6.6 and haven't tried to read a floppy on it yet. Your post prompted me for fun to see if I could read one of the 3.5"s still sitting on my desk. Code:
mount_msdos /dev/fd0c /mnt I have no use for 3.5"s that I know of, but who knows, maybe someday TKS |

If you have the disks, I'd just use dd to make images of them, & then loop mount them to access your code.
