SSDD/DSDD, single step, 9 sectors/track, 512 bytes/sector, interleave 1:1, data rate of 250 kbps, MFM disk.Īnd when I use the BIN2IMD utility to create IMD files from raw IMG files, I use.

These rae what I use when formatting disks via ImageDisk, and when writing images. Here are the parameters as I understand them. The disks I'm working with are DSDD, but with a lot of them, I'm only use one side. I'm using ImageDisk, which seemed like the best option. The drive itself is fine it has no issue reading disks that I didn't create. but I'm clearly still doing something wrong, because the PC's floppy drive doesn't like the disks I create. I've learned a lot since I started down this road. With the IBM PC it's rather different - there are lots of different disk formats, different types of 5.25" drives, etc.

Most of my previous disk imaging has been for Apple II machines, where you really only have a couple of different formats to deal with, and ADT makes the imaging process itself dead simple in either direction. I recently acquired a 5150 with floppy drives, and have been endeavoring to get some software onto disks that those drives will recognize.
