Got a wierd one.  I am part of a group building a system out of a NS32
processor group, and my system is going to include my spare Z-207.  I
have seen many comments about "non-standard" formats on the 207, but 
one thing I haven't seen is commentary about the usefulness of the 207
after the magic is performed.  Specific question:  If I set it up so
the 5.25 drives are 0-3 and the 8" drives are 4-7 and I want to use
Zenith formats for 0,1,4, and 5 (standard 5 and 8" formats), does this
preclude exotic (1.2 Mb or 3.5") formats on the remaining drives? Is
the hardware reprogrammed to deal with the "exotic" formats?
Any ideas?
