I've found the problem and possibly fixed it (sent as separate letter)

Of cource it doesn't. But it would be nice if it does support.
And not only DOS, UnixWare also supports 360K drives.
For me it would be very convenient to use 360K floppies as I have some
machines with no possibility to connect another floppies now.
[ And it is convenient for security reasons - no viruses (almost) as users
don't have right floppies ;) ]
