11121 2001-04-10 07:58:00 Is there a supplier of new 720k DD disks. I require them for use in a Roland MIDI Player. Old 720k disks without bad sectors are rare. Guest (0)

Cover the tab without the slide with cellotape and DOS format them.

re using dos format mode my roland still can read the 1.4 format underneath the 720 format picky dard device !!.
I have run a strong magnet over the disk and also reformatted a Mac disk and even with the hole blanked out it still works out that it is a HD disk and wants to format it. Andrew up at computer North has a few boxes of DD's so im working through those for goodies.
