[ suggests using MS-DOS disks ] I do that now. I don't have a floppy drive on my NeXT, so I use a Sparc's. You probably could make the NeXT drive do the trick. An MS-DOS DD disk is 80 cylinders, 9 sectors per. An Amiga disk is 80 cylinders and 11 sectors per. If you can coax the drive into doing that, you'd just have to implement the filesystem, which shouldn't be much harder than the MS-DOS one was. (An Amiga drive can do either as well as more bizarre stuff.) ab
