Hi -

I need to get some info on what the exact format of the 1.44 MB 3.5" floppy is.

I have an application where I need to write a driver for a different type of
computer to format/read/write PC-format disks (for data exchange).  

Does anyone know where this kind of info can be found, or any other tips  ?

Thanks.
