I believe I have figured out how to read and write files on floppy drives 001 through 099. To read floppy drives other than floppy 000 you must use the "Batch Manage Tool" program. While your USB is plugged into your computer, use the mentioned program to browse for the floppy you want to read/write. Assuming your USB is formatted to be a floppy, there should be a list of floppy drives on the right side of the window. Select the floppy number you wish to read/write by right clicking it. This should bring up the options to "open" and "save." Click "open" to open the directory; you MUST DO THIS EVERY TIME to update the directory on your computer so that it accurately displays the files located on the floppy drive within the USB. Once you have selected "open," wait a moment for the program to create the folder or update the existing one. Now there should be a folder titled "FLOPPY(the number you selected, ex. 001);" (this is a temporary folder on your computer and not on the USB drive therefore, any edits preformed within this folder is not saved to the USB unless saved in the program). To save your files onto the USB drive simply go back to the program, "Batch Manage Tool," right click the floppy number you were editing, and select "save." Your files will now be saved to the USB drive and you are free to eject it.
Thia softwere not working windows 10. 100 floppy partision sucsess. But can not open 001 and 002 like that. Always open in document mode.. can you tel me to solvetion it?
Followed instructions per Garret W for Windows 10. I get "Error Code C" on proper size images written to proper size floppy formats but they work regardless!
Works with Windows 10 systems as long as a few steps are followed. Once the program is installed "right-click" the .exe and select (Properties). Inside properties select (Compatibility) and look at "Compatibility Mode". Select the "Check" on "Run this program in compatibility mode" and select "Windows 7". Next, run the .exe as an administrator, and now when "opening" the specific floppy the file pathing will take you to the correct folder e.i. (FLOPPY000). Hope this helps anyone else stuck with these issues.
It looks like this won't work on Windows 10 systems. It installs, and the format tool works, but the new 1.44 MB files won't open or accept programs. I read on CNC Zone that if you change your Windows 10 computer to use Windows 7 interface, IPCAS works normally. Hopefully this will be resolved in time by the software engineers.
Zane Adams, I remember once I was using it with windows10, the software tries to use some folders with system permission (read-only) as the temporary folder to show the usb files. I remember I found some settings in this software that I could change these directories, and the problem got solved.
Henry,
If you look at my comment I address this issue for Windows 10. Following those steps allowed me to open the new Floppys created instead of a random file directory window. Don't forget to run as an administrator for it to correctly work.
