880k for DF0: is pretty ropey today for an A1200 desktop's internal drive. I still think floppies have their use even with the plethora of USB memory pens etc. out there but it would be great for some company to offer an all-in-one upgrade drive so we can read/write 1.44MB MS-DOS format.

Why did they give the A1200 an 880K drive anyway when the A4000 got a 1.76MB high-density. They were both darn expensive AGA machines...

The hardware hack I've read is far too complicated for the average user to contemplate - it involves snapping, bending, soldering and crossing your fingers; not to mention finding the particular drive this hack works exclusively on!
