[cctalk] Re: Running DOS executables on other versions of DOSRe: Looking for Sharp PC-5000 disk drive (CE-510F or possibly MZ-80B)

Do note that Fred last line can be important. If you take a disk that is a 96 tpi and write something on a clean disk, you should be able to take it to a 360k drive and read it. If the disk was use ona 360k machine and you over write anything that was previously on it, it will unlikely read on a 360K drive. This is because the 96 tpi drive does not erase the wider track written by the earlier 360k drive 🙁 It is like a oneway ticket. It only gets you there but not back.

SO, it couldbe jumpered into a 360K, other than the heads being too narrow
