Yes, I agree with having the SuperCard Pro Software for manually selecting 96 or 48 TPI, One or Two Heads, Number of Cylinders,
Single or Double Step, LOW or HIGH Density, etc. That makes it a lot more flexible, as far as using a 360K Floppy in a
1.2M Teac DSHD 96 TPI Drive. Most folks using this software have enough knowledge to fill in those specifications properly
because they understand the formatted Tracks, the type Floppy being used, the Density, The sectors per track, and the
number of heads.
Actually, that's not the case. Most people using SCP don't even know what a 'disk format' is. They just want to be able to select a disk type and it all happens magically without any type of knowledge at all required. There are only a few people that actually want advanced capabilities.
I have Kaypro II and TRS-80 machines here for testing. I backed up everything I have using a standard 5.25 96 TPI (1.2M) drive. So, it all works just fine.
