Labels: text | screenshot OCR: "DD2HDTIP.GIF" Make HD disks from DD disks! (revision 2) SHUTTER Try what I did: take an ordinary cheap mousewell 3.5 inch, double-sided, double-density micro floppy diskette (which gives 720k with an IBM- compatible, or 800k with a Mao), then drill MF 2-DD a hole in the corner marked with red on this drawing. double sided double dens. 135 TPI You may want to first lay a "real" HD diskette over the DD diskette and use the extra hole which it has as a guide to marking where to drill the corresponding hole on the DD diskette. Or, you may get fancy and rig up a jig to guide your drilling for find another method to make the hole.> Whatever you do or try, if it doesn't work for you, remember that you didn't hear about it here! Write- Please consider this an experimental technique, 37 18' and try it at your own risk! protect hole 5/16" All I can say is that it works for me, so far, and I'm able to generally format the resulting 'jumped-up" 1.44 megabyte diskette with few errors. Drill I will not be responsible for destruction to diskettes, diskette drives, hands, kitchen tables, 3/16" hole eto .! Hopefully, this technique will save you money as here it has for me.
