In my experience, TOS 1.4 correctly formats 720K IBM PC format floppies.
I've transferred files using an Atari formtted disk with problems.
It's kinda neat... ;-)

Just curious, since I'm transferring Atari ASCII files to an IBM,
and they come out just fine, how much of EBCIDIC (sp?) maps to
ASCII (I assume a PC uses EDCIDIC, no?)

  My opinions are my OWN, _not_ necessarily Atari's. But "hey", who knows?
