  • Vriting +D discsDoes anybody here knows of a way to write +D discs on a PC? Like, some utility to put .sna on +D discs, or something like that... Thanks in advance.

    Realspectrum and X128 support real +D disks in the PC's floppy drive, but your floppy controller might not be up to it - the newer ones can't read/write the +D disks. See the emulator's docs for details on how to load the +D rom etc.
