I have a friend who gave me a 1.32 gig micro drive. it comes out of a portable PC but it is plug comptible with the falcon bus. I need to know how to format and how much of that unit can the falcon use.

then I can do more with the falcon.



What software do you have available? You should be able to use the whole disk with the Atari HD Utils, HD Driver would be a better fit, which you can purchase the latest version.



PS  what  or how can I plug the flacon into a small lan.


What kind of connection are you looking for? http://hardware.atari.org has a cartridge port network card, with USB, available. I use the older version (EtherNec) with just the network card, and it works wonderfully with my CT60 Falcon, I've had it running maybe 3 years. You could also link the Atari to a PC through a null modem, but that is a little more frustrating (in my opinion) to setup.

actually I dont have anything for the falcon. I have EVERYTHING on the little MEGA 4 and it has ICD disk i/o. I really cant upgrade, because when I tried to I LOST 75% of everything on my two quantum 105p's. I futz with ICD and try to figure out how to get ATARI MINIX working on the MEGA 4. but I cannot partician or format the falcon -- no software.
