Floppy Problems

The July 1990 issue also answered a reader's question about coping with the new 1.44MB, 3.5-inch floppy drive on his state-of-the-art home PC. The problem? Those disks didn't work in his stodgier work PC, which had a drive that read only 720KB floppies. It took more than a full page, including this graphic, for PC World's Karl Koessel to answer the question, showing the reader how to solve the problem using a DOS 4.x shell.
