Hi all,
I've got an MBC-555 (original recipe: two single-sided Teac FD-54As) and I'd like to run MS-DOS 2. What finally pushed me over the edge is that Kermit needs it, and I'd like to use Kermit to test my homemade serial card:
Problem is, the only MSDOS 2.x image I've been able to find is for double-sided floppies. Is there a way to easily convert an image to single-sided, or are there single-sided ones floating around?
Another option I've considered is configuring MAME to use a double-sided drive in A:, and then boot off of it and format a blank floppy in B: with DOS system files. I'll probably try this first... but I'm not sure if that would require tweaking of IO.SYS, or if it's even possible to have a mixed-format system with the way that drive configuration works.
Thanks in advance for any help.
