[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Fastback+ Auto Reformat

hoctor@osiris.cso.uiuc.edu (01/30/88)

Is there any way to write to formatted 360K disks in a 1.2Meg drive
using Fastback Plus?  We had the problem of moving some software from
an AT (no 360K drive) to a PC (two 360K drives).  I tried using disks
formatted by Fastback+ as 360K in the AT, but Fastback always reformatted
the disk to 1.2Meg, making the disk useless for my purpose.  

We solved the problem by backing up to a "STANDARD DOS DRIVE AND PATH"
with 360K disks in the AT, but this was SLOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!  Is there
any way that I can turn off the Automatic Reformat and still use the
DMA capabilities of Fastback, or is what I want impossible?

Thanx,
