This has probably been asked before, butI haven't been reading this group
for long.
1) Is there any way to get a 1040ST (TOS 1.4) to use HD (1.4M) disks? I
tried to format one and the machine refused. (Gave the same error as
when you try to format a write-protected disk.
2) Does somebody know how to get a 1040ST to read floppies written by an
IBM PC? I have a Sun386i at work that can write IBM-compatible disks,
and I would love to bypass the download.
Send replies to me, I will summarize to this group.
Thanks,
-Israel
