In XP, it gave an "unrecognized switch/option" type message for
ALL of the possible ways to format a 720K EXCEPT "/T:80 /N:9"
When formatting from the "desktop", the only choice for disk type was 1.4
I concur. Although XP claims to support /f:720, it does not actually work!
You have to use /t:80 /n:9 to format DSDD 3.5" disks in XP. Lovely.
