[Coco] 5-1/4″ DS DD 80 track drive, 300 RPM mod

[Willard Goosey]

PartN is how hdkit backups were usually named. I just read through the hdkit docs.... the archdir command should list the files contained in the archive.

It has been many snows since I did anything with hdkit, I can't tell you anything about it except the docs don't seem too bad. :-)

Good luck!


(Also awesome job at getting the hd drive to work at the correct speed!)

Finally, since 1989, I was able to read my HD backup floppies.
These were created on a 5-1/4? DS DD 80 Track 300 RPM drive.
To find such drives these days is next to impossible.
On the other hand, there are plenty of DS DD 80 Track 360 RPM 5-1/4? drives around, 
such as the Panasonic JU-475 series. I had a couple of those.
Moving around jumpers, supposed to change it?s rpm to 300.
Tried every possible combination, but it didn?t work with the Coco.
Here is the solution,

Now that I have DW4 working with both virtual and real floppy drives,
I?d like to find a way to copy the HD backup floppies to virtual floppies
and restore the backup set to a hard drive. 
Can anyone tell, by looking at the directory listing,  which backup program was used?
