There was atleast 1 drive released in 1991 that had 1.6MB capacity.

It did use an HD-drive and you were advised to use HD-floppies, but in
reality it was still DD.

The extra space was gained be replacing MFM with something mor
efficient.

Needless to say that it was completly incompatible with anything else.

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
