  I noticed a similar sort of problem installing a 720kB 3.5" in
my XT clone, except in my case it would only format in 360kB mode...

  I eventually ended up designating the 3.5" drive as E: as well as
B:, and found that it formatted correctly on E: (and once formatted,
it was able to read properly on B:).  I have to admit, though, that
the DOS information on this SEEMS straightforward; it just doesn't
seem to work properly (at least, maybe not with all hardware combinations).

  In any case, you may find that this might work for you... as
inconvenient as it is.
