And you get twice the space on your floppies (transfer twice as much) and no need to scotch tape the other hole (what an annoyance). Personally, I'd opt for upgrading the drive in the CNC controller if possible though - it's supported by BIOS, OS and all on the CNC machine (unlike say, using USB flash drives instead or such), and there's no need to downgrade your XP or look for specific software to write to older floppies and such (every PC with a floppy drive these days supports 'em). Lots of machine shop tools like that run plain old DOS on very old hardware (most of the time 486 and older, and a bit of "newer" P1's). I would normally 100% agree with you on that point - old, obsolete legacy junk I don't want near any of my systems.īut it's a CNC machine.
