So it's just ridiculous, what I'm trying to do?

I have considered CF as an option, considering the card reader on my PC has a CF slot. If I ever do get an older PC (thinking about a Thinkpad), I might get one of those IDE to CF adapters for ease of file access. Do they make PC card to CF adapters?

What doesn't use the floppy disk drive connector?

Got it working, but now parts of the text are cut off, just barely. DDRAW works best, though.

So, I now have an idea for what I could do on my PC: 3.5" 1.44MB Drives: These are for the really old DOS PC Games, or just basic file storage, like .txt files. IOMega 100MB: Compilation games, if I REALLY want or need it, and if read speed isn't terrible. IOMega 250MB: Games that exceed 100 MB ( …

Which one? I currently use "surface".

I can't figure out why DOSBox keeps crashing, but when I boot it, it just shows the Status Window, then either crashes or just sits there until it closes itself, and only about 15% of the time does it actually open. I thought it had to do with I had the files on an SD card, but when I installed it …

So with the way I'm trying to use them, either I'm stuck to 1.44MB 3.5 inch drives, or it's impossible to run games off any 3.5 inch drive?

Alright

The approach here is anachronistic. Isn't that the whole point of this forum group? Retro gaming is bound to be anachronistic unless using an emulator on modern hardware and software. Doom is from when software was archived across multiple disks (or CD) and installed to a hard drive. You mean like …

So a SuperDisk drive should be fine for a majority of formats? Also, I should try to find a floptical drive for myself, because of the disk's 21 MB size, which is good for Doom and Doom 2.

To be completely honest, this is what I'm trying to do: About a month ago, I bought this bundle on Steam that includes Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom, and the Master Levels for Doom 2. I realized, when looking at the files, that the games were just the old files with a DOS emulator (DOSBox). I …

My objective is just to get a variety of disks to work to put game files on. Trust me, it's not monetary, it's just to store some games on. As for Ozzu: 1. The HiFD is a disk type released by Sony in 100 and 200MB versions. 2. I just found the term "floptical" while browsing the internet at random. …

What about ZIP Disks, HiFD Disks, or "Floptical" Disks? Will those work in a SuperDisk drive?

I was thinking about adding a floppy drive to my PC and I was wondering what drive can be installed into my PC that works with all 3.5 inch disks. I've heard that SuperDisk drives work with Standard 1.44MB and 720KB drives, but not with 2.88MB disks. What drive works with all disks?
