[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Formatting 1.2 Meg disks to 360K qu

berger@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu (01/20/90)

According to Maxell, the 1.2 meg diskettes don't have a hub ring
because they require more precise positioning than the 360K disks,
and hub rings aren't always perfectly centered.

		I've never tried to format a 1.2 meg disk as a 360k   
	before, but I have a few 1.44 meg disks formatted as 720k
	and have no problem(Not all computers take 1.44 megs). Unless
	there's some major difference between 3.5" disks and 5.25" 
	disks, I can't see what all the fuss is about.
