[QUOTE="battenfan, post: 1016778, member: 239108"] I remember 5" 360k drives didn't like 360k diskettes that had been [B]re[/B]formatted in 1.2M drives as they had thinner tracks due to 80 traks per disk as apposed to 40. The old data didn't get overwritten well enough but if the diskettes were brand new it worked. Since 1.44 and 720 has the same number of tracks it really shouldn't be a problem. [/QUOTE]
