Labels: text | screenshot | design | graphic 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 diskette (which gives 720k with an IBM- micro floppy compatible, or 800k with a Mac), then drill a hole in the corner marked with red on MF 2-DD this drawing. double sided double dens. You may want to first lay a "real" HD diskette 135 TPI 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 jis to guide your drilling (or 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! Please consider this an experimental technique, Write- 37.16' and try it at your own risk! protect hole 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, etc.! 3/16" hole Hopefully, this technique will save you money as here it has for me.
