Title: ParaDOS settings for PCW drives.
Post by: Bryce on 08:28, 06 January 20

Hi all,
I remember a long time ago, testing a PCW drive on a CPC using ParaDOS, but I'm not a regular ParaDOS user and it's been a (long) while.Does anyone here do this or know what setting I need to do to access both single-sided and double sided PCW disks?It doesn't need to be able to understand the files on the disk. I just need to get to the stage where CAT works.

Bryce.

Not ParaDOS but these might help:

Also the DES GUI + ParaDOS (without having to change any settings) will read 3.5" PCW disks in drive B.
