見到呢D碟，就回想起細個時玩超任成排成排碟咁吸games, 之後load碟

P.S. 我舊時連5.25吋磁碟都用過

I have 8 inch floppy but never used.
5.25 inch floppy I remember formated 360K?

and there is a software call HDformat to realign the sectors to enable faster read speed on any floppy drives.

係唔係有計format 做2.88MB? 好似用LS120 format 容量仲會大D

Copy machine
insert 1.2M to upper slot
insert 1.2M to lower slot
press a red button
drive lights will lights on upper then lower then upper then lower... repeat until finish copy.

FORMAT完要用番LS120先讀到?

8 x 3.5inch floppy of data?

volospin

I always wonder how much data can an 8inch floppy hold if it formats the same as a 3.5inch

volospin

found it... fdformat.  

A DOS tool written in Pascal by Christoph H. Hochstätter that allows users to format floppy disks to a higher than usual density, enabling the user to store up to 300 kilobytes more data on a normal high density 3.5" floppy disk.

It also increases the speed of diskette I/O on these specially formatted disks using a technique called "Sector Sliding".

In this technique, the physical sectors on the disk are ordered in such a way that when the drive advances to the next track, the next logical sector waiting to be read is immediately available to the read head.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fdformat

... 300 kb more data... ???
