Floppy disk Video: Amiga 880 KB floppy disk

Do you know how Amiga floppies actually look like? And real differences from other computers? Answers there! French speech, English subtitles.

Nice !
But Atari ST can do 11 sectors per track too, so there is something missing.

In this video, I wanted to focus on standard Amiga floppies. I quickly talked about Atari 11 sectors floppies in previous video about 720 KB floppies [ Show youtube player ]

Very interesting, thank you for having the English subtitles, I'm sorry to say I don't understand any French at all. I have subscribed now, as I want to see more of your content.

Thanks for your nice words. I indeed take the time to create good quality English subtitles, as this is essential for non-French speaking people (and thank you for your help, Google Translate).

And I replaced "he" by "it", thanks for the remark

Yes, you are true,


There are Atari ST/E games that use larger than 720 KB disk.
Also there are more rare or bizarre disks on both machines (Amiga and ST), such 800 KB disks (if I remember well original Lotus 1 for ST is a 800 KB disk).



Despite this, is a very educative video.
