Hi, is there a difference between floppy disk I and floppy disk II? Could the PC also work with floppy disk II?
Thanks a lot.

Hi, I'm using the translator and maybe I expressed myself poorly.

Do I only need drive 1 to install the programs?
Is it okay if I only have drive 2?

Those drives are identical, those are only labels to help you identify them to the computer. Much like early DOS machines had drive A: and B:.
