Hi Sam,
there is a little driver and formatting programm supporting "exotic"
disk formats. If You have Your disks formated You can use diskcopy
without any problems, even for copying between a 5.25" and a 3.5" drive.
I used this to make a 5.25" 720k copy from a 3.5" 720k version of MS-DOS
5.0 to install it on my old Robotron computer which has 2 5.25" 720k
drives.
The programm is called "FDFORMAT". If anyone is in need for this I can
zip it and send it per e-mail.
Regards Joerg
