If you want make images from these floppies disk you must use specialized software (omniflop.) with an internal floppy disk drive on a PC.įooddude wrote:-Drag n drop an old project mpc60 floppy to macbook desktop.works Not a surprise : the S900 & S950 use a non standard sector layout and non-dos file system. I would've thought it would be the other way around (since the s950 and 1.44m are a couple years newer technology).

Kinda weird if you think about it.that my Lacie/Macbook can read/recognize an older style 720k floppy from an older mpc60.yet couldn't read/recognize the s950/1.44m floppy at all. the floppy ran for a couple seconds then shut off as if it was empty.macbook didn't recognize anything and nothing showed up on my desktop. I would've thought it would be the other way around (since the s950 and 1.44m are a couple years newer technology).įooddude wrote:Additinally, I tested my old 1.44m s950 floppies on the Lacie to macbook. Even if it did work, that's still only the small params file.what about the bigger snds file that doesn't load into the new floppy? The floppy just stays running for 20-30+ mins.Īdditinally, I tested my old 1.44m s950 floppies on the Lacie to macbook.

(note: the "new' test floppy was formatted on mpc60 prior to loading.720kb disks). Loading that aforsaid new test floppy data containing the params file.didn't work in the mpc.it listed a params file and 5-6 new weird/foreign files.none of the new loaded files worked. Drag n drop that original mpc60 floppy data on the desktop containing snd and params into a new floppy (for testing purposes to see if it transfers into a diff/new floppy successfully).took long, after 20-30mins wasn't going anywhere so I gave up and tested the smaller params file.which worked Drag n drop an old project mpc60 floppy to macbook desktop.works
