With all this discussion about 720K vs. 1.44MB 3-1/2" floppies, I just thought I'd mention the way I use mine. I have a Toshiba 3-1/2" drive. Since my old Info 286 BIOS couldn't run it at 1.44MB, I had to get special drivers - they work just fine. Anyway, before I got the drivers, I just told the CMOS that it was a 1.2MB drive. It formatted DS/DD media at 1.2MB with no problems. Since this is "non-standard", I only use it for backups. It works great, on cheap media! Any comments?
