sc-3000 tapes and sf-7000 disks

[extra_anchovy]

after any actual games for sc-3000 / sf-7000 on tape or disk, single games or bulk lots. also if anyone has a 5" disk drive working on a sc-3000 I'm VERY interested in that. will pay $$$ but also have stuff to trade if desired.

I suggest you start here

DISKS? Good lord, I've seen a couple of tapes and everything else has been carts... the drive setups were certainly uncommon.

gibsaw - thanks, I've got all the disk roms available on the net just need a way to play them on my sc-3000

carcenomy - disks are bloody rare, I'm well aware of that. but they are out there though, mostly in the hands of collectors I suspect

I have a Sega SC-7000, Amstrad CPC-6128 and ZX Spectrum +3, so I'm always on the lookout for 3" disks!

I don't have any 3" disk software for the Sega and haven't explored options for writing the floppies yet. If you find out how to do it I'd be keen to learn

It was suggested that the disk images were downloading using the SF7000's serial port. I'm totally guessing here, as I possess neither the download software or the sega to do it on, but surely the process would be reversible? (i.e. write an image back to a disk.)

(although blanks of those 3" disks must be rarer than rocking horse s***)

If that's not doable, can something else with a 3" drive write the disks? Maybe an amstrad? does anyone else know?

I don't have a disk BASIC for the Sega, so reversing the serial<->disk transfer on the Sega could be a problem until I get one. I have no idea about raw disk writing on the Amstrad or Spectrum +3, but I have both machines. I even have some blanks
