We have the same units here and don't have any trouble with them.  The internal
BIOS knows about the drives and fully understands all 80 tracks.  We are
currently using MS-DOS 3.20 (Toshiba's version).

Have you tried using the 3.5" drives as is?  Format a floppy and see how many
tracks it says that it formats (MS-DOS 3.2).  If you don't have the latest
DOS, use CHKDSK on it, you should have 720K of available space.  If not,
it sounds like you need a new set of BIOS rom(s).
