> How can one tell what type of drive one has? I just reconfig'd a 1.2MB
to 360K and installed MS-DOS 4.01 sucessfully on an old 286. (it was the
only OS available <g>)
I assume the track width is determined by the head construction; but
they all look the same on the outside :-(

How do you reconfig a 1.2MB drive to 360K? 1.2MB drive handles 360K diskettes
without doing anything special to the drive. I suppose you tell if the drive is
1.2MB by trying to read DOS-formatted 1.2MB diskettes. But I don't know how
else one would tell a 1.2MB drive from 360KB, or 1.44MB from 720KB. I wrote
about that computer store technician who made such a mistake.
