Hi there!

Can I backup my Commodore PET 8250 format disks (eg Superpet 9000) using SCP? I'm not even sure if a HD 5.25" disk drive can read these properly!

If so, what hardware do I select?

Thanks!

Anthony
The 8250 drives use a 100 TPI disk drive. If you have a 100 TPI disk drive plugged into the SCP then you could back the disks up. You would need to use the 1.2MB format.

You can't use a standard 1.2MB (96 TPI) disk drive.
