Check the DOS manual for the FORMAT command: >to format a disk for 9 sectors per track use: > FORMAT B: /9 to achieve IBM(sic) compatability. Z-Dos (version 1.x) can't read or write (or format) 360K. You really do need 2.11 or above. As to the legality of copying it for others, it's definitely not legal -- Microsoft, if not ZDS, would be upset. But I'm not sure how else you'd get a copy!
