Trejo) Newsgroups: comp.sys.masscomp Subject: Can Masscomp floppy drives read IBM PC floppies? Message-ID: <1231@gazette.bcm.tmc.edu> Date: 19 Aug 88 23:12:44 GMT Article-I.D.: gazette.1231 Sender: usenet@bcm.tmc.edu Reply-To: trejo@nprdc.arpa (Leonard J. Trejo) Organization: Navy Personnel R & D Center Lines: 30 Approved: masscomp@soma.neuro.bcm.tmc.edu Status: R We occaisonally need to upload files from IBM PC floppies to our Masscomp 5500. Now, we use software (PROCOMM) and a serial connection between an IBM clone and the Masscomp to upload the data--very slowly. Has anyone figured out if the Masscomp floppy drive can be programmed to read IBM PC style floppies? L. J. T.

It is available from the comp.sys.masscomp archive files in the ARCHIVE.Vol2.Z file.
