Hi!

I've just bought an Amstrad PC2086, which is essentially a model 30 clone, 
with all that that entails.  Including, of course, 3.5" disks.  I wish to 
communicate with other PC users who have 360kb, 5.25" disks, and there is
a suitable port hanging off the side of the machine.  Alas, I only
have a 5.25", 80 track drive, and cannot persuade it to double step so
that I can read standard PC disks.  

Does anybody have any software that will make my B: drive double step?
Thanks for any help..

regards,
atp
