No, this happens with many different drives and diskettes, ALL 360KB.
I've set the B: drive in the BIOS to 360KB. Format needs no
modifiers and appears to work fine. I can test the 360KB disk in a
1.2MB drive and all is fine. I wanted to use the 386 since I have more
diagnostic tools available, Scandisk seems to just be wrong when it
comes to the older drives/disks.
