File chooser
Quote:

The file chooser seems to be what I am looking for although I am unsure how this works but from what I read you have to split the drive into multiple sections and leave an empty file in each section (is this correct?). Does this device always have to be plugged into the drive?Also the machine likes to format disks with index whenever replaced would it do this to each section as it was chosen? This would obviously delete the file placed in that section would it just ignore the rest of the stick memory?

You can purchase our standard device (IBM) - Floppy to USB UpgradeEliminate your need for 3 ½ floppies and 3 ½ disk drives!!!
You would make separate directories on the stick within Windows and save the files you need there. The file chooser allows you to open these directories from the drive. You should not have to leave an open file, just the directory will be fine but each directory is limited to 1.44M space. If you use more than 1.44M it will ignore files after the one that meets or exceeds 1.44M. It does not always have to be plugged in. As for what your machine does right now with the disk and the indexes, etc its going to act the exact same way as it does not. If you have a directory selected, your machine will think that directory is the floppy disk and act the same to that directory as it would with your floppy.
