I recently posted the same issue to the net, and several people 
responded with a workable solution:

Format the 360k disk on the 1.2M drive using the /4 switch.  You may 
then write to that disk on the 1.2M drive, and it can be read on a 360k drive.
Do not write that disk on the 360k drive (this includes deleting files).
The 1.2M drive should be able to read a 360k disk formatted on the 360k
drive with no problems.
