[Ham-Computers] 5-1/4 FDD Question

[Ken]

Hi Robert,

I still have my 486 SX 16 with both 3 1/2 and 5 1/4 floppy drives.
Anyone with this arrangement should be able to copy the 5 1/4 to
the 3 1/2 diskette.
My 5 1/4 drive will handle both the one sided and both sided
floppies.
Take care,

Ken   N5CM
