Assuming the PC in question could read 360K disks, and assuming the 
320K/160K disks you were trying to read were undamaged, can you please 
explain how this can be a _hardware_ problem. I can understand that the 
BIOS might not support single-sided disks or 8 sectors/track, or whatever, 
but I can't see how the hardware could have problems with it.

As I understand it, Imagedisk talks to the bare metal of the disk 
controller, so is not hindered by BIOS limitations.
