 Posted: Sun Jun 18, 2023 12:30 am Post subject: File size limitation for floppy vs USB drive |
 |
|
Hi,
I have a preset package I want to load into my Triton. Currently my Triton has a floppy drive, limiting the file size to 1.44MB. Some of the files in the package is larger than 1.44MB.
Will getting a USB drive instead allow me to load files bigger than 1.44MB via the disk option or is there some kind limit built into the Triton so that it can only read 1.44MB at a time? |

Hi Daroka,
I had gotten a floppy to usb drive conversion for my Triton back in the day and afaik the usb gets seperated into virtual floppy disks with 1.44mb like real floppies. So you end up with say 99 virtual floppies on a usb but still are limited to that 1.44 per floppy. It's been a while but that's how I remember it. |
