Is HP 720 3.5" floppy disk drive able to read a DOS format disk?  I talked to
a HP sales rep, but didn't get a clear answer.  Or do I have to use SoftPC3.0
listed in HP price list to just read a DOS disk?  Another question, what's the
performance of SoftPC3.0, I heard it's similar to a 20-25 Mhz 386, is that true
If this is the case, it is certainly usable.

Can anyone from HP comment on this?  Thanks.
