You put them on a floppy just like any other file. If you need to split them use UCON64. http://ucon64.sourceforge.net/
You split them if they are too big too fit on 1 floppy. |

Is it 8 mbit max on a HD-floppy?
Ok i ask it this way instead; how many windows kb will fit on a 1600 formatted disk?
And back to Mbit again, what value should i put in the split field?
Thank's!

Aaaah i think i get this now. The marking on floppy is 1.6 Mbit! not Megabyte
If so, i can put 2Mbyte on a 1.6Mbit floppy |

No. When you format a floppy normally there is approx 1.44 Megabytes of space. This is enough to fit a 10 megabit ROM on, but not 12 megabits. If you use a copier to format to 1.6 Megabytes of space which is the largest your floppy can hold, this is still only enough to hold a 12 megabit ROM. 12 megabits is exactly 1.5 megabytes.
If your disks are formatted standard 1.44Mbytes:
4Mbit = 1 Disk
8Mbit = 1 Disk
10Mbit = 1 Disk
12Mbit = 2 Disks
16Mbit = 2 Disks
20Mbit = 3 Disks (Possible you could split to 10M and just need 2)
24Mbit = 3 Disks
32Mbit = 4 Disks
If you use 1.6Mbyte Format then these are different:
12Mbit = 1 Disk
24Mbit = 2 Disks
32Mbit = 3 Disks
Basically you could save a disk. But in my experience 1.6Mbyte format is more prone to reading errors. I suggest you just use 1.44 and split into 8mbit sections or if you prefer try splitting to 10mbit if your copier supports that size. |
