Is the 512K floppy disk only recognizable by DOS 3.0? Can it only format a 1.44M floppy disk into 512K? Please ask the expert for guidance. The device uses DOS 3.0! Can't copy it out! I'm in Beijing, phone 01088701188 - 3395 (Mr. Fu)

It is to format a 3.5-inch 1.44M floppy disk into a 512K floppy disk, and the DOS 3.0 in the device only recognizes this kind of floppy disk! Still urgently seeking help! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

High - version DOS is compatible with the floppy disk format of low - version DOS.

Is the LZ looking for the installation program of DOS 3.0? Or does it want to read a 512KB (suspected to refer to a 5-inch floppy disk?) floppy disk?

A 5-inch floppy drive is even supported by XP SP2.
A 512K disk is definitely not in FAT format..... Is it a special format created by formatting a 360K 2D disk?
I have indeed seen and used 140K Apple ][ single-sided disks and 800K Mac 3.5-inch floppy disks..... These seemed to be unreadable by PC floppy drives at that time
