I have not "seen" the disks yet, I just got a call from someone having problems
reading them.
I thought they were 720k but was told they were written on an IBM (something) in a 1m
format ?
I had hoped someone would have more clue than either myself or my clueless friend.
Thanks
Bob

What physical size disks are you referring to?
IBM PS/1 never had anything that was commonly referred to by that name.
UNformatted capacity of 720K disks is 1M. Those can be read by any but
the most perverted of current machines.
