I have an Archimedes, with a PC Emulator (which although slightly slow it is a very good emulation). I have two drives - one a 3.5" and the other a 5.25" drive (with 40/80 track options). When I format the 5.25" drive, the format program automatically formats it as 720K (which is readable in 80 track mode.) I can read 360K 5.25" useing the 40 track option on the drive - can anyone tell me how to format 360K disks. Thanks Gary.
