I have a 3.5" 720K on my XT clone (put it there last fall) and I seem to
recall that FORMAT B: would produce but 360K (no banging).  I believe
I had to format it as F: (I have 2 HDs and a ramdisk for C:, D:, E:) to get
720K.  Actually, I now use PCTools formatter and that works on B: directly.
If you don't any detailed help, e-mail me and I'm check my system more
carefully.
