  No, it will not read or write 1.44M disks.  I don't think the
  hardware is up to the task.

  A further comment/question about CrossDOS.  I have tried the read
  only version a few times and it seems like it often tells me that
  the MS-DOS disk I inserted is 'Not a DOS Disk'.  Dos-2-Dos
  recognizes it fine.  Anyone else had this kind of problem?
