I've never had a problem READING 360k disks in a 1.2 drive. I have had
trouble writing them (but not always, and I think it might be related to
the disks being DD's, but formated as HD's and then back to DD's again...
not sure). And I do know when formatting them under dos, you need to
specify that you are formatting a 360k disk in a 1.2 drive (/f is the
switch I think). Just specifying the size as 360k doesn't usually work
for me.
