I have developed my first 220 film used in a non 220 film camera, the 
Rolleicord IV. It worked according I thought it would work, it's possible to 
obtain 23 1/2 frames, I say "possible" because I lost frames 10 and 11 and 17 
taking nocturnal photographs due to my cable release did not lock the shutter 
at the open "B" shutter position, BTW it has nothing to do with the film format 
or the camera film transport and the frames 12 16 and 18 were perfect.

As I expected, opening the camera back after to shoot the frame 12 to reset the 
frames counter to 0 allowed to restart the counter again from number one, the 
frame 24 was a 1/2 frame, and then you can obtain 12 perfect frames from the 
film first part and 11 1/2 frames from the second part, 23 1/2 frames.

I have noticed a bit of light leak for some frames, it could hapen when I 
opened the back to restart the counter or it could hapen because the final 
paper guide did not wind up completely when I opened the camera back after the 
frame 24, anyway the light did not affect the frames very much.
 This is the 220 film drying:
