Hi,

According to an old Peter Norton book, Dos 2.1 only supported 320(!)
and 360K disks. Support for 720 and 1200K came with DOS3.
XTs had to use a separate device driver for the higher densities.

The future was never like this!
It sounds to me like it would be quite a non-standard format,
as I don't believe DOS 2.11 supports the 1.44meg format. Anyone
else?
Yes, that bothered me as well....
Also, most machines that run MS-DOS 2.11 are XTs. Which may well not
support high density drives at all (yes, I know there are high density
controllers for XT machines, but they're not that common).
