Jeez, must be my version of Windows 98SE! Have same version on all my PC's and all have the same problems with the MSX floppy's. Oh, I just found something: I have a memory stick adapter program in my PC. It warned me back then when installing, that 720Kb floppy's couldn't be read/write properly unless the program is deinstalled. I will try it tomorrow, I want to go to bed now. Good night
