720k 3.5" Disks with HD Floppy Drive - IBM PC JX
#1
I am having difficulty imaging 720k floppies with my SCP.

I have imaged 1.44 MB - no probs using the  IBM 1.44 mode. When I use a 720k, it doesn't work. 

The imaging drive works, the reading drive works, the disks I am using work. As a long shot, I attempted to use 1.44MB mode with the 720k and this doesn't work either. 

I can confirm the IBM PC JX disk works and reads in a modern PC with a USB disk drive. (maybe I should just image it on the PC - not sure what the standard is though)

I have tried both a Sony MPF-920E and a Panasonic JU-257A606PC and these don't work.

I also note that I am not sure how to read in SCP the unusual 360k IBM PC JX format disks - which I am sure are not documented.
