I finnaly cleand up my basement and have about 400+  5 1/4 IMB 360k
Floppies.. I would hate to see them go in the trash .. So will an
apple drive format these and use them??

If you can, be sure to bulk erase them before using them in your
Apple //.

Actually, formatting in an Apple drive will erase anything on the
disk that is anywhere near a data track.  Bulk erasing isn't necessary.
