IIRC, there was a share/freeware format program that you could do that with
back c1990.  You had to load the TSR on the system in question, and their
format program would let you put ~400-425 on a 360 disk.

Also IIRC, my 1.2M drive could read those without the TSR loaded, but other
360 drives could not.
