Having grown up with 1.44MB 3.5" floppies, I have
a question: is it
possible to use a 1.44MB disk and just format it as a 720K disk?

As I recall you had to bulk erase the old diskette and then you could
format it as 720 - covering the 1.44 hole of course.
Not bulk erasing (the side of a Weller soldering gun works just fine)
led to erratic results. We all have Weller guns for fixing computers, eh?
