I have just installed a 3.5" 720k fdd in an original IBM PC-AT.  The computer 
previously had a similar drive in it.  The problem is, now I cannot format the
drive to 720k.  Whenever I do format it comes out to 360k.  The drive reads an
d writes just fine on 720k disks.  The setup does not support this drive and 
the OS is PC-DOS 3.3 which, unlike MS-DOS, does not support the Drivparm comman

Any suggestions on how to get this to work properly?
