Hi There!

     I have a question about the IBM PC low density diskette (360K) and a high density disk drive (1.2M). 

     The saleman in one of the computer store told me that I can read and write a low density diskette (360K) on a high density disk drive (1.2M) as long as I formated the 360K diskette on a low density disk drive. After using the high density drive on a low density diskette, I can still use a low density disk drive to read off the data without any problem?!?

     Can someone tell me whether it is true or not. Thanks for your help.
