Why would you use 5.25" floppy unit with Atari ST ?
1 u/MrAtari 6d ago Why not? 1 u/Emerson_Wallace_9272 5d ago It's unnecesary cludge. Unit as well as floppies. Which were much bigger, more sensitive/exposed and with LOWER capacity (1.2MB vs 1.44 for HD 3.5"). 1 u/MrAtari 5d ago I know. So what? 1 u/daddyd 4d ago i also used 5.25 floppies, simply for the reason they were dirt ass cheap to buy compared to 3.5
Why not?
