I replaced the high density 5.25" drive in an IBM AT-3270 with a 3.5" 1.44 m drive. We wanted to maintain the 360K drive, but be able to interchange disks with a PS-2 model 80. By loading driver.sys with the following parameters, I can read 1.44 m and 720 k diskettes: device=driver.sys /d:0 /t:80 /h:2 /s:18 I can only format 1.2 m disks on the 3.5" drive as drive a: When I attempt to format disk e: (the virtual disk which is drive a: with the above parameters), I get a "parameter error" message. What do I have to do to be able to format the diskettes as 720 K and 1.44 m? Is it possible to boot from the 3.5" drive? How do I get that to work?
