My little brother has asked santa for some 5 1/4 " floppys for his radioshack trs 80, and of course santa has turned to me for help. Does anyone know if DEC RX50's will work properly on a radioshack trs80. btw - little brother asked for singled sided double density diskettes. thanks, peter

If he asked for single sided double density, then they ought to
work just fine, as the RX-50 is single sided quad density (sometimes
known as 96TPI). Seems like kind of an expensive solution, though,
when you can get generic disks (made from real plastic, just like
the top brands!) for under 50 cents each....

| 627.2 | I agree - why RX50's? | CSC32::HAGERTY | Veni,Vedi,$cmkrnli,rebooti | Mon Dec 14 1987 09:03 | 7 |
I agree with .1. I used rx50's on an apple II a couple years ago,
then discovered that even the internal price on the rx50's cannot
compete with the price of the prices you find in the department
stores. I now have an IBM XT and use the Polaroid floppies. I
have no reason to complain. Most any of the floppies you buy at
Target, et al, are of pretty good quality any more.
