I tried to format one and the machine refused. (Gave the same error as when you try to format a write-protected disk. 2) Does somebody know how to get a 1040ST to read floppies written by an IBM PC? I have a Sun386i at work that can write IBM-compatible disks, and I would love to bypass the download. Send replies to me, I will summarize to this group.
