	I posted an earlier note that may have been misleading.
Here is the whole story:
	The 1.2M drive will read, write, and format 360K floppies.
360K floppies written by the 1.2M drive can be read by another
1.2M drive.
	When 360K floppies are written by a 1.2M drive, however,
they are not always perfectly readable on a 360K drive.
It helps if the floppy was formatted on a 360K drive.
