The 160k and 180k formats will be readable in a Rainbow, and after you
write it in the Ranbow *may* be readable in a PC. They *will* be
readable in an AT.

 The Rainbow uses single sided, 80 track, 10 sector per track format
(400k). There is a program which allows manipulating this format on an AT.
