> I need to know this because I hate loading multiple floppies!!! The FlashPath adaptor is shaped like a 3.5 inch floppy disk and has a magnetic floppy disk emulator to act like a regular floppy disk. There are versions of this thing that support SanDisk, Memory Stick, CompacFlash and I think others. I would like to know if I can use this in my copier.

My educated guess would be that it won't work for that reason.

If you have a SWC DX2 you can put a 2.88MB drive in it which will double your capacity. I think you can also use one of the special disk formatters to increase the capacity even further. I don't know about a 2.88 but you can increase a 1.44 capacity to 1.6MB so I'd guess 3.2MB for a 2.88 which is enough to handle 24Mbit games on one floppy.

I know the enhanced disk formats work on the Game Doctor SF7/Professor SF II and I think they work on the DX2 but I can't remember if I tried it. I can check out the 1.6MB format on the DX2 if that would help.
