- Floptical Driver software
- -------------------------
-
- Note: This software is now PD, but is UNSUPPORTED.
- It is still (c) 1995 Hugo Fiennes of The Serial Port
-
- Use: edit the appropriate !Run file to include the SCSI ID of your
- floptical drive (use *Devices to find this). Run !FlopFS. Use.
-
- Note that to format blank floptical disks you must first try to
- mount the disk (to unlock it) then run the formatter. You can swap
- disks like floppies and it will ask for them back if it wants them.

- Release notes:
-
- Floptical Driver Software, issue 5
- ----------------------------------
-
- * Depending on wether you have an ADFS compatible ROM installed in your
- floptical drive (*Devices will list the revision as 385 as opposed to
- 384) you should use either the !Floptical application in the DOS
- directory of the !Floptical application in the ADFS directory. With
- the ADFS ROM fitted you can read and write 800k and 1.6Mb ADFS disks.
-
- Floptical Driver Software, issue 4
- ----------------------------------
-
- * The floptical drive will now, in conjunction with RISC OS 3, now read
- and write standard PC 720k or 1.44Mb diskettes.
-
- * RISC OS 3 multitasking free display added.
-
- Floptical Driver Software, issue 3
- ----------------------------------
-
- * The floptical floppy icon now stays put if you have RISC OS 3.
-
- Floptical Driver Software, issue 2
- ----------------------------------
-
- * FlopForm 0.02 is supplied. Delete *all* copies you have of 0.01, as due to
- a bug, it may low-level format the wrong device! This version of FlopForm
- is also compatible with the Oak SCSI card.
-
- * There is now only one !Floptical application which determines what operating
- system and SCSI system it is running with and adjusts automatically - it
- selects between Econet SCSI, Acorn-compatible SCSI and Oak SCSI and also
- between RISC OS 2 and RISC OS 3.
-
- * FLOPFS now sends unlock code every time a drive is mounted, as well as at
- bootup to ensure drive stays unlocked.
