Kind of off topic I guess...
The drive supports 1.2mb, I guess I should be picking the max the drive supports? Not the actual size of the floppy itself? I'm a bit new to this stuff. I'm trying to copy my Kings Quest 3 disks, which seem to be 360k in size (using DIR on MS-DOS and adding up file sizes plus freespace). I tried using DS DD floppies but the game install always crashes on the same file saying it cannot find the data for the file. I tried a SS DD floppy from my C64 and that copied fine but when I ran the game, it crashed saying it couldn't read data from the HD (as if the game was corrupted) I then tried another 3 SS DD floppies but all had the same error with the same file as the DS DD floppy.
Now, I reimaged the flux file from the original floppy using IBM 720k mode even though it is a 5.25 disk, so ending at track 79 H1 and wrote them back to the SS DD floppies and they worked perfectly. I then tried writing to a DS DD floppy and that too worked.
I'm not sure what my mental disconnect is with this.
