Re: assistance with disk ][ and modern 1.2M floppies

[Doug Browning <wpg750@mb.imag.net>]

They don't make 140k disks anymore. The disks I'm refering to are 5.25" double
sided-double density. They are often labled as 360k because that's how much they
store when formatted for WinTel machines. Of course, the Disk ][ will only write
to one side (the bottom).
