*Hands over the little snipper thingy for the bloody 5 1/4" operation.*  :lol:

lordedmond:
Yep the floppy ones were all made the same double sided ,you paid double for the ones that they had sniped

My first foray was a Nascom with a home brew drive controller for the floppy running CPM later poly dos

I had forgotten assembler ,those were the days, but for a single task I think it when PDQ

64k of ram to fill up

For those who never had the pleasure of getting something for nothing.

Take the 5.25" disc and tap it gently on the table using the edge that doesn't have the read cutaway on it.
cut off the top edge as close to the edge as possible.

carefully remove the disc.

cut another read slot exactly the same distance from the opposite side to the original.

punch out a timing hole for the on the opposite side.

replace disc. tape up the edge.

Now you have a double sided disc.

Oh what fun we had.

Dave.
