This has probably been asked before, butI haven't been reading this group
for long.

1) Is there any way to get a 1040ST (TOS 1.4) to use HD (1.4M) disks?  I
   tried to format one and the machine refused.  (Gave the same error as
   when you try to format a write-protected disk.

2) Does somebody know how to get a 1040ST to read floppies written by an
   IBM PC?  I have a Sun386i at work that can write IBM-compatible disks,
   and I would love to bypass the download.

Send replies to me, I will summarize to this group.

Thanks,

-Israel
