I don't know of any machine which natively writes low density disks in a
high density drive (at least not so that another low density drive can
read it reliably).  However, I've seen LOTS of ads for a product which
supposedly lets any PC-AT clone reliably write disks that a 360-K drive
can read.  The product and company are:
     
     CPYAT2PC: Microbridge Computers International, Inc.
               655 Sky Way - Suite 125
               San Carlos, CA 94070
               1-800-621-0851, Ext. 777
               (CA) 415-593-8777
               (NY) 212-334-1858
     
I have never used this product, so neither I nor Penn State is
endorsing it.  I'm just curious about it.  At $79, plus $4 for
shipping and handling, it sounds pretty good.  Does anyone have
experience with it?  I've NEVER seen it reviewed anywhere.
     
P.S. The information above is from Microbridge's ad on p. 545 of
     "PC Magazine," issue of October 13, 1987.
