Reading and writing 'legacy' file formats

[Repton]

Is there a way to read or write to legacy file formats? Such as what BBC micro or c64 used?

Do you mean file formats or disk formats? Your question refers to the former, but the linked article talks about the latter.

In that case the answer is 'yes and no'.

Why can't cant disk formats be read written to?

Hi Repton,

I think that is dealt with by the drive itself and the operating system.

Best wishes,
