Some of the newer ones appear to be 1.44MB disks - certainly if you
download PianoSoft Plus disks from www.YamahaMusicSoft.com the latest
software insists you write them to 1.44MB disks. These are what I've been
working on. All the information I've used was found on the internet and
written for 720k disks - mainly in the archives of this list. I've not got
a protected 720k disk to try - I'll see if I can get one in the near
future though.

By the way, what exactly didn't work - the actual disk copy, or attempting
to write the boot sector back to the disk ? If it was the latter, and you
used the boot.img I attached then it is most likely due to the boot
sectors being different between disk formats. The specifications I have
show the boot sector containing disk format information, so you probably
need to copy the boot sector from a 720k disk.
