765 FDC

4 bytes removed, 27 September
/* Floppy disk format specification */
* To use 80-track drives and/or dual-head drives, you need to use another CPC DOS instead of AMSDOS. The most popular one is [[ParaDOS]]. It can handle up to 796 KB instead of 178 KB for AMSDOS.
* Half of the original AMSDOS rom is occupied by [[Dr. Logo]] from Digital Research. If you replace AMSDOS with ParaDOS, you will lose access to Dr. Logo.
* The Even with an AMSDOS rom, the FDC can handle exotic floppy disk formats if it is accessed directly. That way it is possible RSX programs do exist to get up to 208 KB of usable space per side on a 3inch floppy.
