[Coco] question about 3.5 inch floppies

Hi,

Another dumb question-

A 3.5 inch drive will work like a 720k drive simply by placing a DD
(720k) disk into the drive, right?

So, to use a 3.5 inch floppy with Nirtos-9, one merely needs to have
it be plugged in, and make sure to use 720k floppies.   The disk drive
will operate correctly. (?)

Interestingly, I have 3 different versions of the same Panasonicn
JU-257.  Only one of them can be selected to be drive 0 or 1.

I think I have read that, in the coco, you want to use hard drive
selects...no twisted cables.

thanks, Steve
