I tried a 2.88 floppy in a 770..
no go, probably did not have it wired up correctly..
in any event, i have some of the floppy diskettes here.. as well as the 2.88 working on the rare occasion that i use it, on a 760ED-U9A machine...
it would be nice to have the support for this 2.meg floppy today, but, alas, they abandoned them some years ago..
i THINK the support is in the bios and it is no longer supported.. -:)
