I didn't know the amiga could read 720k disks.  Do you have a special
drive?  Did you have to use any special software?

On a related note, MIT recently obtained quite a few VaxStation
3100's with 3.5 inch drives.  No one here seems to know anything about
them, but I saw a magazine article that said, in passing, that the
VaxStation 3100 writes PS/2 format disks, 1.44 meg I guess.  

Is there any way to write amiga disks with these machines?

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Send email and save bandwidth!
