I do it everyday (read/write 360k disks on AT 1.2M drives). The only problem
I've had is if I try to FORMAT /4 (or whatever the switch is) a 360k disk on
the AT.  THEN the XT can't read it.  If I format the disk on the AT, I can 
move it back and forth between both machines with no problems.  Mabye I've
just been incredibly lucky?
