Sorry, folks, these have probably been asked before, but I haven't seen the answers in the past year. 1) A program called INTRCEPT was recently posted to allow one to format DSDD floppies for 720K in an AT's 1.2Meg drive. The poster failed to mention that DOS 3.2 was required. My question is, if I had a copy of DRIVER.SYS, would this work under DOS 3.1? How about any other PD software to do same? 2) A year ago I made the mistake of buying a Taiwanese, no-name, vanilla memory expansion card for my AT. It came with no software, and minimal doc, but I do know that you can only set one starting memory address for the whole board. Since my AT came with 512K, I put 128K of chips on the board and set the starting address to 512. Now I want more memory! I presume I could fill the card up to past 1Meg, and then use the extended memory for a ramdisk. The question is, is there anything I can do with the stuff in-between? Any PD programs to do something with the AT's 'dead block' between 640K and 1Meg? If not, I don't suppose I could just leave out the RAM chips that fill that space??

Sorry, my previous message got away too quickly.
If you can help with the 720K floppies or the RAM expansion,
here's who I am:
