765 FDC
,/* Custom floppy disk formats */
Usually single sided 40-track 3" disk drives are used in CPCs. For practical purposes, 42 tracks could be used — the limit is specific to the drive and some support more tracks but 42 is a good maximum.
The FDC controller can be used to control 80-tracks and/or double sided drives, though AMSDOS doesn't support such formats. 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.
