ImageDisk update

[Dave Dunfield]

Hi Jules,

>emulation thereof) to work? Or does it somehow get around the problems
>which 99% of PC floppy controllers seem to have in reading certain disks
>(particularly FM data)?

ImageDisk works with the standard Nec765 based PC controller, preferably an
AT or higher on which the data rate can be set. This has all the limitations
inherent in many PC implementations. In testing about a dozen machines, I've
found three which can read AND write mixed density disks without complaint.
The FDCs on Intel mainboards appear to be quite good if you can live with
the fact that they couldn't be bothered to provide a Drive-B select on the
interface connector.


>(one for the website, or the bundles readme.txt file maybe!)

All of this information (and more) appears in ImageDisks online help.

Regards,
Dave
