[Techtoolslist] Fluke 9100ft - Floppy Disk Issues

[Steve Larkins]

It should tell you what options that are already set, so choose these.
Teac floppy worked for me with my hxc replacement drive. There are options
for Canon HD and Sony HD, don't select these.

If you have an sd card hard drive you can easily recover it by imaging an
sd card with the service disk.
