Floppy replacement

[Guest Turbo]

Hi for everybody, Has anyone knows about replacement of floppy driver 5.25 with floppy 3.5. We have an old type Toray Japon made plc which controls a winder and uses a monitor program and a 5.25 inch disk. How can I update this system to 3.5 inch floopy and a normal pc to monitor the program of the toray plc.

You can probably just replace the floppy (if it's a standard pc type) with the 3.5" one and it'll work. The plc won't know or care that it's a 1.44mb, it'll just format and use it in it's native size (360K or 1.2m). Any pc (if it's formatted fat, which it may not be) should be able to read this disk.
