Greeting *,

Some discussions around about the format of 360K disk and 1.2MB drive.
I have it run fine (at least up to now).

o Format a 360K disk as DD in 1.2MB drive
o Before rawwrite, acess the 1.2MB drive using any command. I used "dir a:".
  Note that if I didn't "dir" before rawwrite, I'll get complaints from
  rawwrite.
o rawwrite
o boot.

(BTW, I used "format a: /n:9 /t:40" to format my DD disk.)

I'm running DOS 3.3 with a 20MHz 386AT.  It's just provided for your
info.
