The 3.5" 720K drive is plugged in and working, but won't format
to 720K (format /n:9 doesn't work). Any ideas how to go about it?

Have you loaded the dos file called driver.sys in your config.sys file? This is needed on a pc because the bios on your pc does not support 3.5" drives as a or b. You need to put the following line in your config.sys file: device=c:\dos\driver.sys /d:2 I may be mistaken on the number 2 but I believe the syntax is correct, don't have my dos manual handy, it's 11 at night. This will make your 3.5" drive d. Hope this helps. demon@hubcap.clemson.edu
