Should work unless you're doing something funny. 3.5" DS2D diskettes
(not DSHD) share the same data rate as 360Ks. Only the number of
cylinders differs--oh, and the 5.25" 360K drive won't do high-
density. The only other reason that I can think of getting a SNF
error is that you're using a really really old 5.25" drive that can't
step at a 4 msec rate.

The PC5 will not recognise a 3.5" disk, even
using driver.sys to set the
parameters it always gives a "device not ready" error.
What Fred said about pin 34. Also, make sure that the 3.5 is
jumpered right--I don't know how closely the Commodore followed
standard PC conventions.
Alternatively,
hook up a 360K 5.25" to your modern PeeCee and call it
a 1.44MB drive--format the blanks in your PC5 and your modern PC will
write them just fine.
No go, 3 different machines, 5 different drives - all the same error -
"Sector not found".
