#IMATION SUPERDISK DRIVERS WINDOWS XP KEYGEN#
SuperDisk drives have been sold inparallel port, USB ,ATAPI andSCSI variants. 1.44 MB HD floppies formatted to 32 MB as "FD32MB" (FAT16B with logical geometry 2 CHS × 512 bytes) in the LS-240 show a dummyFAT12 file system (with logical geometries 160/2/9 or 80/2/18) when inserted into a normal floppy drive. The "SD240MB" drives have a capacity of 229.25 MiB aka 240.39 MB (FAT16B with logical geometry 262/32/56 CHS × 512 bytes). The true capacity of these "SD120MB" drivesis 120.375MiB aka 126.22 MB (FAT16B with logical geometry 963/8/32CHS × 512 bytes). The newer LS-240 drives also have the ability to read and write regular 1.44 MB floppies at much higher densities. Superdisk drives read and write faster to these sorts of disks than conventional 1.44 MB or 720 KB floppy drives. The SuperDisk's format was designed to supersede the floppy disk with its higher-capacity media that imitated the then ubiquitous format with its own 120 MB (and later 240 MB) disk storage while the SuperDisk drive itself was backwards compatible with 1.44 MB and 720 KB floppy formats (MFM). However, this higher density comes at a price – the entire disk must be rewritten any time a change is made, much like earl圜D-RW media.Ī SuperDisk drive was used in two Panasonicdigital cameras, the PV-SD4090and PV-SD5000,which allowed them to use both SuperDisk (LS120) and 3.5" floppy disks as thememory media.
It has double the capacity and the added feature of being able to format regular floppy disks to 32 MB capacity. Matsushita continued development of the technology and released the LS-240.
Other companies involved in the development of SuperDisk include Compaq and OR Technology. The idea eventually ended up at 3M, where the concept was refined and the design was licensed to established floppy drive makers Matsushita andMitsubishi. Iomega orphaned the project around the time they decided to release theZip drive in 1994. It is one of the last examples offloptical technology, wherelasers are used to guide a magnetic head which is much smaller than those used in traditional floppy disk drives. The design of the SuperDisk system came from an early 1990s project atIomega.
