Summary: Fastback on 1M drives makes 1M floppies or 720K floppies

>>Can Fastback use 1.2meg floppies, either in 360k mode or at full density?

If you have a 1.2Meg drive fastback will write 1.2 megs per floppy on the
high density disks and 720K per disk on standard dsdd disks. It will not
create a 360K disk with a 1.2Meg drive. 

In any event, no matter which drive or floppy you use, the backups can
only be read by fastback. They use completely nonstandard formats.
