Convert 1.44Mb Floppy to 720Kb Floppy

Okay, poking around on Louis' pages answered my question, but I ran
into a little catch...  I need to decompress IBM's scsicdrm.exe but it
will only let me do so to a 720 floppy.  I have no 720 floppies!
Annoynance.  Does anyone have the files that could post them somewhere
individually or perhaps in .zip format?

Just tape over the "other" hole in the floppy casing. It should format at
720KB then.

And/or "FORMAT A: /F:720" (The PS/2 drives will do this; Newer 1.44Mb
clone drives *won't*.).

I've run into a couple of FDDs that use a photosensor rather than a 
mechanical switch, so if you use tape, use opaque tape or tape a bit of 
paper over the hole.

I've taken a 1.44 floppy and covered the hole with tape.
That seemed to make the floppy drive think it was a 720k :)

Can't hurt.
