Hi,
I am sorry that I can't speak Japanese, so that I could only write to you in English,
I have a question about using DiskExplorer for it's Extension function.
Some files are very very important to me in a Sharp X68030 HardDisk, and I need to use them in a Windows system. Now I copied them in a floppy disk formatted by Sharp X68030, and I tried to Use DiskExplorer to import them as an XDF file.
I've downloaded "edit165e.zip" and "diskexp_io_spec_01.lzh", unzipped them, and saved the unzipped files in the same directory.
I run Editdisk.exe and click "Extended" function Bar, then choose "Create disk image from disk", then I assign the path of the XDF file, name the XDF file, assign "A:" as the "Source", lock the floppy disk, choose "1232" KB, then press "Excute". Then a window pop up shows "Disk I/O error". Apparently, it doesn't work out.
Would you please tell me what had I done wrong? Or is there anything else I should do in order to import them as an XDF file?
Please reply me, I do greatly apprecite your kindness.

Your operation is exactly correct, but it seems that your hardware is not
capable of reading the disk formatted in 1232 KB. A special FDD and driver
called 3-mode FDD is required to extract a 1232 KB disk. They are selled
commonly in our nation (but it is little more expensive than usual one), but
I dont know they are selled in your nation.
Does anyone have good idea ?

Thank you very much.^^
I am trying to find out if my Sony FDD a 3Mode-FDD or not, and to get it's driver for SuperI/O Windbond W83877TF for WinXP, but I haven't found the driver for XP yet after my searching.
Also, seems almost all the drivers only support Japanese version of Windows, that would be another a big concern of mine..^^|||
Anyway, I am still working on it, and thank you again for your kindness.
By the way, Here is a Japanese-English translation website http://www.excite.co.jp/world/url/
which is very helpful to me to try to read here, and for your reference.
Thanks and thanks again....,and
Have a nice day.
