I had an old EMT that would only read single-sided low density 720KB 3.5"
floppy disks. I made my own with high density 1.44mb 3.5" floppys with the
following procedure:
1) place tape over the hole on the right (the one without the overwrite slider)
2) from a PC DOS or command prompt enter the following command:
Format a: /n:9 /t:80
This makes perfectly functional low density single-sided floppy disks for those
really old machines. It is a testiment to the longevity of these machines.
