CF-5200 Frequently Asked Questions

Question number FAQ-0347

I saved data to a floppy disk in both CF and ASCII formats, but the format is 1.2MB. How can I change it to 1.44MB?

CF main unit
Since ASCII format saves only affect screen data, batch modifications are not possible.

If you want to do it one screen at a time, the procedure is
(1) Transfer CF format data to block memory
(2) Call up one data item at a time on the screen
(3) Rewrite the data in ASCII format onto a 1.44MB floppy disk.

Copy again using the CPU
Since it's in MSDOS format, you can convert it using the CPU's copy function.
