UFI does actually support 1.2MB! This is because many Japanese computers, like the PC-98, spun their 3.5 inch floppies at 360rpm to match the sector layouts of the 5.25 inch one. Many USB floppy drives support this - if you insert a 3.5 inch disk and format it as 1.2MB you'll hear the pitch of the drive motor change.
- s_gourichon 6y agoIt's kind of tricky. UFI does mention 1.25MB, but the table states again "3.5 inch". So, yes, if you want to format your 1.44MB capable 3.5 inch disks as 1.25MB you can. But still not the 5.25 inch disks the OP is requesting.
