PROD[edit]

I found a "PROD" (added today) here by accident, because I just needed a VFD reference for a blog entry. After doing the opposite of what I intended (copying references from my blog to the article instead of referencing en:w: VFD in my blog) I removed the PROD tag. Actually the IMA + IMG + VFD stubs should be merged into one article, replacing the other two articles by (important!) redirects, but I leave that job to registered en:w: users. –89.204.137.229 (talk) 22:28, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Proceeding with merge now. Fleet Command (talk) 14:04, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are a bunch of links (less than 50) to the new redirect, I hope you checked the details. I'll add any new info at the new VHD#VFD location. For IMA and IMG I added mergefrom/to tags. –89.204.137.230 (talk) 15:21, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So far nobody merged IMG and IMA. Looking again at it after 18 months I think IMG should stay as disambiguation, with all info related to floppy disk images merged into IMA. The new IMG disambiguation could then offer wikilinks to IMA, and to other file types using file extension .img, notably two or more picture formats. –82.113.106.217 (talk) 14:35, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Formats[edit]

I haven't tested it yet, but I guess that the list of supported formats should include ED (extra density, 2.88 MB), and it certainly needs reliable references. –89.204.137.229 (talk) 22:28, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now tested, 2.88MB can be set in the (virtual) BIOS setup, but apparently does not work. I'll add a note on the VHD page in the VFD section if that's confirmed by a 3rd party. –89.204.153.142 (talk) 19:15, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
