documents/3.5drive (91/10/12)
Various iv description files and other randomness for use with 3.5" floppy drives. Several people have been running 3.5" 720Kb floppy drives on their UNIXpc with no problems. At least it increases the capacity of floppies for the 3B1 to 800Kb from 400Kb! High density (1.2Mb or 1.44Mb) floppies is still an impossibility...
