Could some one please explain to me why AT&T chose not to support the 360K
DS/DD format on the 3B2 that their MS/DOS machines use?  I know that the 
hardware will read that format, it is just the device driver which 
does not recognize it.

There is at least one third party software package which replaces the 
3B2 floppy device driver with a custom version which does the trick.

My question is, Why didn't AT&T see the need for this??
