Really the only reason why I would use DD disks would be to use in my Apple IIGS.  I guess for other reasons if I'm using them in the Amiga.  That's why I'm so glad I can use High Density disks.

Well the whole eBay scene was good, but too many people got greedy.  Sometimes greed makes people do stupid stuff and it ruins it for everyone.  I'm surprised that eBay hasn't shutdown the Computer section all together.

Yeah I know Windows XP is terrible when it comes to 720K disks, that's why you have to use something like Linux or OpenDOS...  Yeah the the bit rot will get you all the time. It's even worse with the 5 1/4 disk.  I've had to throw out a lot of Apple II and Atari disk for my 1050 drive.
