(YET ANOTHER) DISK PROBLEM
--------------------------
I've just installed a 3.5 inch, 1.44 Mb disk drive in a XT clone with DOS 3.2. 
The drive works all right, but FORMAT.COM formats it at just 720 Kb and 
refuses to give me the full 1.44 Meg capacity. (Yes, I used high-density disks)
The manuals gave no answers, so I'm stuck.
I wonder if maybe DOS 3.3 is needed for those high-density 3.5 disks ??
If someone knows the answer, I'd be really glad to hear it (After all, my 
reputation as 'Wizard' is at stake).
