Just curious if anyone can help out - Does anyone have knowledge of whether a BBC Micro 3.5" floppy is formatted the same way as a conventional DOS one?
Work has asked me to attempt to extract some old software (written in BBC BASIC back in the day) to PC, with the hope of opening it in emulator, reading the code and making it accessible to us in the present.
