Summary: 3.5 on the jr?


...some itme back, a company was advertising dial 3 1/2's in an underchassis
setup for like 199 bucks, with controller. they discontinued them for 99, and
according to some frineds at Big Blue Inc., here's why:

...DOS 3.2 & 3.3, for some undisclosed reason, will not let the Jr format 3 1/2
inch disks. The dual system worked fine in all other aspects, but would not
format due to the DOS.

...of course, if it worked, they wouldn't have been sellling the damn disk driveassemblies for as cheap as they did.
