I read that you can indeed use a standard 1.2 Meg drive and that you can also use DSHD 5.25 disks in place of RX50s. Is there any truth in this? If there is it will be much easier and cheaper to make disks for my Rainbow.
As Chuck noted, I'd think you'd want to use 360K media -- not DSHD diskettes... and ensure that the 1.2MB drive is slowing down to 300RPM with a data rate of 250KHZ.
These features will depend on the 1.2MB drive you have, as well as your FDC and imaging software.
