IIRC, if the 360K disk was formatted in a 360k drive, you could reqd and write all you wanted with a 1.2 and the 360k drive would have no issue.

I think where the problem came in was if you formatted a 360k disk in a 1.2MB drive.

But hell, that's 30 years ago, and I can't remember shit past 30 MINUTES ago now......
