I've used it with Osborne and several other formats.  If you have a 1.2 MB
drive, it will warn you that it may not be readable on a 40 track drive. 
I've found that stepping my 16mz machine down to 8mz does the trick every
time. Occasionally, I've had to write the Osborne disk more than once to make
it readable.  But hey, what do you want?  No program on an IBM can make those
old CP/M drives work any better.  They just weren't made to read the skinny
tracks written by 80 track drives.  All in all, Media Master works better
than one really has a right to expect.
