[quote="2wice"]Route66 is not a very reputable company, they don't deserve any type of promotion.
2wice that's an interesting comment, why do you say that because you heard that someone had a problem with a drive? 99% of all users that have a problem with a floppy drive are using the wrong discs and never bother to read their manuals or even the install guides that come with the Route 66 drives. Read below and learn before you leap!
Fobedafied stop talking out your ass, you don't know the first thing about drives or how they address with the MPC60, there has NEVER been an issue with floppy drives and MPC OS versions.
Guys the Route66 drives work just fine if your using the correct floppy discs, read your manual!!! the MPC60 is a DSDD 720K unit, this means the MPC60 has a DSDD 720k FDC controller CHIP SET on the main board and is only setup for DSDD 720K discs. Now in the past you could get away with the HD discs with the 10yr old original drive because it was also made 10yrs ago, these older drives do a poor job of media detection and allow the HD discs to pass. Any NEW 2000 to the current 2007 drives are vary good at media detection and only allow disc media that matches the FDC controller CHIP SET in the MPC60. I hope this clears up any confusion and if anyone has ANY question about floppy drives and the MPC just ask me.
