I also recently bought a 1.2MB floppy for my Equity 2, which did not work. I
was reading on Compuserve about the EQ2 and the statement was made that the
floppy required for this machine was a non-standard drive, with some signal
or signals different.  I left a message with the sysops to get more details
on the exact differences, but have gotten no response yet.  If some hack is
needed to make a "standard" 1.2M work, I would be interested in it.  Also if
I find out any info from Compuserve or Epson direct, I will post it.  By the
way, the info on the EQ2 also said the non-standard drive which works on the
machine is no longer available.
