Some scotch tape over the floppy disk hole to make the system see it as DD. If it didn't automatically format as 720, you could specify size or sector count with format.com in dos. I did hear folks say it wasn't always reliable (similar to 5.25 disks being formated on a high density drive) but I never saw any problems in my limited use.
