Well I can't imagine all of these driver disks are bad :(
I wasn't able to read any on my PC. I'll check first to make sure the
drive is reading a known good disk, and if that's not the problem, then
I'll try reading these with an old PC. If that doesn't work, I guess
these are worthless.

Ok, so
what's the trouble with reading a 360K diskette on a 1.2MB drive?
I know we've covered this numerous times before but I'm too lazy to go
searching through the archives.
The problem is with writing on a 1.2 MB drive onto a disk that has
also been written with the 360K drive, and then trying to read the
resultant mess with a 360K drive. I've never run into problems reading
any 360K diskette with a 1.2 MB drive.
