![]() ![]() However, running Win XP from a partition or from Parallels (under MacOS) or the like, provides support for single density disks, as this is still supported by Win XP. In my case, the OS and the drivers included provide support for HD, but not SD. Be aware that running something via USB also requires support by the OS. I’ve connected this to an old MacPro (late 2008 / MacOS 10.9.5). However, I don’t know about the current situation regarding driver and format support. For external connection, see here.I’ve an Imation SuperDisk drive with USB, which I can confirm does read and write single density disks. Note that the 1.44M drive can be attached to either the controller's internal connector (P2) or external connector (J1). If a 1.44M drive is connected to the IBM supplied controller, it will be discovered that 720K diskettes can be used. ![]() The floppy controller ( photo) that IBM supplied in the IBM 5150 does not support 1.44M drives. The IBM BIOS (all three revisions) on the IBM 5150 motherboard does not support 1.44M drives/diskettes. Use of one of the options shown at here will give you the ability to format.ĭOS 3.3 or later (3.3 introduced DOS support for 1.44M diskettes). You can read from and write to 720K diskettes, but not format. The floppy controller ( photo) that IBM supplied in the IBM 5150 supports 720K drives. The IBM BIOS (all three revisions) on the IBM 5150 motherboard has partial support 720K drives/diskettes. Another possible solution is here.ĭOS 3.2 or later (3.2 introduced DOS support for 720K diskettes). To gain 1.2M operation, one possible solution is here. The floppy controller ( photo) that IBM supplied in the IBM 5150 does not support 1.2M drives. The IBM BIOS (all three revisions) on the IBM 5150 motherboard does not support 1.2M drives/diskettes. The floppy controller ( photo) that IBM supplied in the IBM 5150 supports 360K drives.ĭOS 3.0 or later (3.0 introduced DOS support for 1.2M floppies). The IBM BIOS (all three revisions) on the IBM 5150 motherboard has full support for 360K drives/floppies.
