  Ive replaced my 1.2 meg with a 360K drive also. It works just
  fine except the system will complain unless I set both drive A
  and B to 360K drive(s). Be aware I only have 1 drive connected.
  If I try access drive B, the system hangs. Other than changing
  the physical drive and setting the CMOS I didn't have to change
  anything else and the only bugs are those mentioned above.
