@rkauer, @weirdami

thats not true, at least some DD drives do have HD sensor. I know my A500 original drive has it.

the problem is that such diskettes are not reliable, in a few hours or days they might become unreadable.

HD heads write 'harder' bits that are just overlayed with the 'softer' DD bits.


hmm, thats interesting.. so would this help:
-cover the hole and format it on PC as 720Kb,
-reformat on Amiga ?
