    I have an AT compatible with a 720KB 3.5" floppy as drive B and would
like to format diskettes for use on an Atari 520 ST with a 360KB 3.5" floppy.
The ST's drive is SS/DD while the AT's drive is DS/DD.  MS-DOS v3.30 does
not allow me to format a 3.5" disk single-sided.  Is there a PD format
that would allow me to format a single-sided disk?  If not, can someone
supply me with the correct parameters for formatting the disk single-sided
so that I can attempt to modify an 800K format program (800KFMAT) to do the
trick.
    Has any ST user accomplished this on any IBM compatible???
