Wow, I didn't know that! I don't know anything about Atari computers. I
didn't have any exposure to them when they were new, so I haven't bothered
to inquire about them.
I wonder if the same pitfalls that one runs into while using 360K floppies
in a 1.2meg drive, happens with the 3.5" disks as well?
Oh, I just thought of something! I threw away a pair of 720 drives last
fall, but they may have only gotten as far as my parents garage. I'll check
and see if they are still in that box. They do have 5.25" face plates,
However.
One last thing.....what processors do your treasures use :-) (the ones that
you will be working on shortly)
