[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Format 720kb disks as 1.44mb

rpg@mbunix.mitre.org (Robert P. Goldsmith) (01/26/89)

I've been told this is possible on PS/2's, and I think it's been
discussed already on the net, but could someone repeat the conclusions
reached?

What controller/drive combination do I need in a PC/XT to format, read
and write 720k disks for reliable use as 1.44mb disks?  Is it just a
matter of finding a 1.44mb with a jumper that over-rides the media
sensor?
