Our school bought some 3M high density floppy disk with 1.6 MB. The problem
is that they cannot be used in my computer (CompuAdd 386-25Mh). I even
cannot format them through 1.2Mb floppy driver. The disk has no problem
with other computers, and my computer has no problem with 1.2Mb floppy
disk. If I use such a disk formatted in other computer, the error message
will be "general failure in reading driver A...".
Any experiences or suggestions?
Thanks.
