Hi,
I'm having a really annoying issue. I'm trying to use a USB floppy disk drive on my Windows 10 laptop to copy files to my IBM PS/2 Model 30 286 and mid 90s ACER Pentium machine (the Pentium is less of of an issue as you can transfer stuff by CD-R). Any floppy I write on the USB floppy drive cannot be read on either the model 30 or Pentium machine, but the USB drive reads anything it has formatted just fine. Both the Model 30 and Pentium machines have 1.44MB drives, not 720K or anything. Both drives are working, and read floppies with MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 on them that I bought from eBay.
I'm pretty stumped by this. The floppies are readable, the drives work, and files stay on there. Problem is they ONLY will work on Windows 10 with the USB floppy drive!! I've tried researching this a bit, by find very little. As far as I can find the standard format Windows 10 does SHOULD work on both older machines!!
Any ideas??
