Hi Joe,

There were a lot of problems with using 1.2M drives to read/write
discs created on a 360k drive. Proper alignment of the tracks was
critical. You would have better luck using a 360k drive to read 
360k floppies.

I have one available if you want it, room 1230 BioMedical Physical
Sciences bldg.
