I've found a case where one person's MS-DOS PC (leading edge)
always produces 360kb floppy disks, MS-DOS version 3, that cannot
be read by the Apple 5.25" PC disk drive + Apple File Exchange,
version 1.1.4.   Apple File Exchange always complains that disk
is unreadable and asks me if I want to reformat it.

These disks are readable on any MS-DOS PC.  They are unreadable on
two different Apple PC drives.   Has anyone seen this problem
and do you know a solution?    I've tried a different MS-DOS
Format.Com on the PC, from a PC that *will* produce disks readable
by the Apple drive, with the same problem.  So I guess it is not
a software problem on the PC (or at least not due to Format.Com).
