BULLSH*T!!!  Get this right people!  It's been discussed OVER AND OVER!!!!
The ONLY problem with the 1.2 meg drive writing 360K diskettes is if you 
OVERWRITE on a diskette with a 1.2 meg drive and there was previous info
on the diskette written with a 360K drive.  If you bulk erase the diskette
before formatting and writing it with the 1.2 meg unit, the amplitude
on the media will be slightly lower, but there is no significant difference
in reliability in a properly operating and aligned system.  

If you were doing mass distribution, I'd recommend the 360K drive just to 
get the little extra edge 'cause you can never tell how bad the customers
equipment may be.
