You must sort out the logical format (catalogue/file system/FAT/bad sector area/data content), usually by writing to the disk (after formatting) a disk image of the correct format. OmniFlop does not format 'blank disks' of the correct format, just disks to the correct physical format, so that images (blank or otherwise) may be written to them. However, the disks produced will have no filing system (logical format) written to them - to be used, they must still have a disk image of the correct format written to them. I use an internal floppy model MITSUMI D359M3 mounted on a Microstar MS-6531 motherboardĪs of v1.00 of OmniFlop, the utility (with the driver installed) is capable of physically formatting the pre-defined formats listed above. (thanks to parazythum) but I want to do the 'pure' thing. I know that is it possible to make bootable CD and so eliminating the use of floppy to boot hdm format.I tried other formats like standard.

hdm image back to real floppy, Omniflop doesnn't support. This without changing any parameters in the BIOS (I left 1.44MB 3.5' but there is also 1.20MB 5.25'). I tried all these and it seems to format the floppy correctly, I use the Omniflop software (first I installed his custom floppy driver) but I didn't understand which format I have first to use to format my HD floppy.There is among others: 1200KB DOS, 1232KB DOS and 1248KB (sharp X68000). I own a real FM-TOWNS MARTY 2 and i'd want to play that games which requires floppy disk to boot.
