I notice now that the character I made before is deleted from the registry again and now when I try to create a new character it tells me that there was a save error.ĮDIT: Do I need separate floppies, one as an initialization disk and another just for saving? Is that what happened there?Ī few more questions. However, subsequent attempts to get into the game greeted me with the "Initialize a disk! Press space" message and no matter how many times I pressed space I could not get past it even though the formatted floppy disk was in the drive. I thought then that it was working normally. I was able to enter the game and play for a bit, then save my progress. Then I tried creating another character, restarted the system and the character was still there. I tried creating a character and then when I went to enter the game that character was no longer in the registry. I thought I might be able to use the one disk that did format to play the Ultima Trilogy, however it seems to not to be saving anymore. The Marty's disk formatting utility refused to format all but one of these disks, returning the error message that the "floppy is abnormal".ĭid I order the wrong type of floppy disk or perhaps the pack I got was defective?

However, if you only have a standard floppy drive, you must disable the Floppy 3 Mode Support feature or your floppy drive may not function properly. Otherwise, your 3 mode floppy drive won’t be able to read the special 1.2 MB format properly. If you own a 3 mode floppy drive and need to use the Japanese 1.2 MB disk format, you must enable this feature by selecting either Drive A, Drive B or Both ( if you have two 3 mode floppy drives).
They allow the system to support the Japanese 1.2 MB floppy disk format, as well as the standard 1.44 MB and 720 KB ( obsolete) disk formats. Unlike normal floppy drives, 3 mode floppy drives support three different floppy disk formats – 1.44 MB, 1.2 MB and 720 KB.
While physically similar to the standard 3.5″ floppy drives used by the rest of the world, these 3 mode floppy drives differ in the disk formats they support. Common Options : Disabled, Drive A, Drive B, Bothįor reasons best known to the Japanese, their computers come with special 3 mode 3.5″ floppy drives.
