To access the above 5.25" 40/80 double sided drives are needed Some formats such as IBM PS/2, Atari, Apricot use 3.5" 720k drives. Other formats such as Amstrad use single or double sided 3" drives. Additional formats can be accessed by adapting the definition files.
Formats NOT accessible due to hardware incompatibilities include : Apple, Amiga, Sirius, high density (e.g. 1.2mb, 1.44mb)
The Master has a 1772 controller which can work in FM or MFM modes.
My machine has a hard disc with an ADFS and a DOS+ partition. To date I have not been able to find out how to run CP/M from the hard disc !
