Not true. I've worked on a Compaq Portable III with a dual speed 
1.2 that could format a 360K that can be read on a standard PC.
The problem I have is identifying who makes the drive. I know
that Teac, Toshiba, and Fujitsu make dual speed 1.2 megs. I
trying to find out which one works best.

(Please send E-mail. I'll summarize and post to the net.)
