+Ksarul Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 You should be able to do that with a Myarc controller as well, Marc. I have one of those in my regular system. . .later versions of the Myarc DSR will format either type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I put together an advanced diagnostics command file that will copy 1280 to 1440 when all I had was a corcomp controller. Worked pretty well if memory serves me. I pm'd because I have myarc cards now that will do the trick as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc.hull Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 I am sans myarc right now but that's good to know that it will do it. The 1280 disks came with a TI DD FDC but that is out of comission currently but.... Sparkdrummer could you share your technique with advanced diagnistics? I do have a CC FDC.

Opry99er Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I have an original physical copy of the MG Advanced Diagnostics disks and a complete manual. Marc, if you need it, I'll send it your way, snail mail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkdrummer Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Marc, Here is the .dsk containing the Command Files (CF) MYARC/CC and MYARC/CC2 for use with Advanced Diagnostics. The 1280 disk goes in drive 1 and a formatted 1440 sector disk goes in drive 2. MYARC/CC is set up to load the second CF from drive 3. If you don't have this configuration you'll need to modify to suit your set up. I cobbled this together years ago to transfer some disks from a friend for use on my system. I have not used this for 20+ years but I remember it working just fine. Anyhow - here's hoping it'll get the job done for you. -Ralph... myarc.dsk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
