GNU Info (fdutils.info)XXDFXXDF formats ============ These use the simple principle as XDF, but use a higher geometry. No new principle is used, these formats are simply more daring (smaller gaps, and smaller margin at the end of the sector). *Usage:* XXDF disks are not bootable by LILO, and can't be accessed by MS-DOS. They are only suitable for MS-DOS filesystems. The floppy driver has no direct support for this format yet, but `mtools' is able to read them using the `FDRAWCMD' ioctl. Due to their smaller tolerances, XXDF formats may not work on all drives. Problems may also occur if you write to XXDF disks using a different drive than the one you used to format the disk. *Interesting Formats:* density tot. cap. throughput formatting command 3 1/2 HD 1920KB 45KB/s xdfcopy -3 /dev/fd0 3 1/2 ED 3840KB 90KB/s xdfcopy -4 /dev/fd0 automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
