You can also use shareware program 800.com (or ask it's author how he've
done it).  The program should be in many ftp sites; it puts a patch to the
BIOS, which then enables flexible formatting (like 10s*43t on 360 kb
floppies).  Unfortunately, it only works with MS-DOS 3.3+ and internal
drives.

Happy hacking!
