Hi Netters! Quick Question - Can a 800K floppy that contains data be read from a 1.44Meg Drive? Can it be read with no problems? I'm sure (read: 99.9% positive) that a 1.44 can't be read on a 800K, but I was wondering about the otherway. Please E-mail responses....Thanks ******************************************************************************* * Greg Ford GEnie: G.FORD3 * * Univeristy of Southern California Internet: gford%nunki.usc.edu@usc.edu * *******************************************************************************

Can it be read with no problems? I've been reading and writing 400K and 800K disks with my 1.44M drive sucessfully. I did have troubles formatting a 400K disk, once. > I'm sure (read: 99.9% positive) that a 1.44 can't be read on > a 800K You are right. It offers to reformat the disk. -- William C.
