Formatting Floppy Diskettes for PianoDisc

Mr. Marc Kaufman is in error. The only 3.5" single-sided disks
were used by the very earliest Apple computers and had a 360K capacity.
The double side double density disks were 720k and the double sided
quad density disks are the 1.4M disks. There are also double sided
high density which are 2.8M in IBM format and 3.2M in some others,
such as the Sinclair Ql with the Miracle Trump Card, and that is how
it stands. I have a friend who is still using Windows 98 and should
be able to format 720K disks.
