- Another note regarding the DiskSpareDevice (DISKSP16.lha) program
- I mentioned earlier. The author does not mention anywhere in his
- docs that if you format the disk using FFS.. you can actually get
- 991K per disk! YEP!.. 991k from -ANY- amiga low-density floppy.
- Don't bother checking the capacity with "info".. it'll tell you
- 983k no matter what. How do I know that 991k will fit? I split
- some files up into pieces.. and successfully copied a 991k
- file to ds0: anything more would not fit.
-
- The great thing about disksparedevice is that you can just mount
- it and forget about it! it's just like cross-dos.
-
- Again, I applaud author Klaus Deppisch for his effort! And advise
- anyone interested in getting the most from there floppy drives to
- check the program out!
