  Most, if not all of the models can use 1.2MB disks.  Problem is, the
firmware will not allow you to arbitrarily copy stuff around.  If what
you need is on a 2.4MB disk, it may not allow you to copy it to a 1.2MB
disk, even if you have capacity available on the target.

  They definitely do; I've gotten several from them.  Talk to Dave
Mendelson there.
