Personally I used widows formatted disks in my ST for years.. never
had a problem. ( using real 720k floppies... ). I also formatted via
PC-linux back then too on occasion.. again no issues.
Used both the internal drive, and a 3rd party external drive.
That being said, i have noticed over the years many of my ST
disks have deteriorated from being in storage.. Unfortunately this
includes several commercial disks that I'm not sure how i can
replace at this stage of the game.. ( such as Atari works )
