No.  Consultron (CrossDos) syss that it will not work.  The AE drive will
read standart, 720k disks, just like an Amiga drive, but it won't read
the 1.44 meg IBM.  Consultron said it was because of the way they get 1.52
megs on a floppy was "signifigantly" different from the way big blue does
it. Hmmm.  I really wish I could use 1.44 megs disks.
