Re: Using 5.25-inch BBC Micro Floppy Drive with a PC
Hi Andrew,
a Make and full Model number may help.
also maybe some photos.
By 'Dual' is it 2 x 5.25" Drives?
If is standard and with standard Connectors there should be no problem connecting to a PC which supports Floppies, providing the bios includes 5.25" floppies.
A Ribbon Cable / Stripline is required that has a connector or connectors for 5.25" is needed, as 3.5" differ. Some had as many as five Sockets to cover all possible configurations.
1 - mobo, 2 - drive A: (3.5" + 5.25"), 2 - drive B: (3.5" + 5.25")
Watford Electronics, there is a Blast from the Past, now sadly gone!
Regards - Mike
