Subject: Writing 360kb Disks from 1.2 Mb Drive

I just got a high-density floppy controller for my XT clone at
home and I was thinking about replacing the 360 kb drive with
a 1.2 Mb one. The other floppy bay already has a 720 kb drive.

I would still like to able to write disks that a 360 kb drive
can read, since I need to transfer data to machines sometimes
that only have 360kb drives. I know that this process is not
reliable with the normal write on a 1.2 mb drive.

I've have seen ads for programs that purport to let a 1.2 mb write
to 360kb disks reliably. I would like to know if these programs
actually work, and if so which ones do work. I would also like
to hear if there are any public domain or shareware versions
of these programs.
