correct!
It is exactly the same issues as using SS media for DS.
It's there; it's the same; but it has not been tested for that use.
This is assuming all 720k 5 1/4" drives are interchangeable. There are relatively
few of those out there, but being there are any number of 360k drives that are not
interchangeable, I have my doubts. It may be that controllers are finicky but that's
the whole point really.
I'm going to guess a 720k or 1.44meg drive
won't work but it's not
impossible.
720K BETTER work.
720K 3.5" was developed EXPLICITLY to serve as a replacement for 720K
5.25" It is INTENDED to work. Although there is an assumption that you
are competent to set the drive select and other jumpers for installation.
