trying to figure out why you'd want a 360rpm 3.5" drive. I've never seen
one...
(600 rpm is another matter...)
You've obviously never run into a NEC 9800 PC (or just about any other version of
Japanese MS-DOS) diskette. 77 cylinders of 5x1024 sectors, spinning at 360 RPM, just like
an 8" drive.
Most USB drives understand this format automatically.
