You cat format a 3.5" disc to 1.2 MB, i don't know the reason. But
you can fool MSDOS format to think that the 3.5" disk driver is a
5 1/4 disc driver. Then you can use FORMAT A: /f: 1.2 .
(this can be a problem on some disc).
HOW DO I DO ?
You must go to the SETUP program and here change the
parameters for driver A to 1.2 MB.
(don't forgott to rechange the SETUP).
ps: to do this you need 2 disk drivers, A - 1.44, B - 1.2 MB.
