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.


hmm well Ive been using HD disks with my 1581 dating back 1991 and not even one bad block has been noticed! ironically brand new DD's used on both my miggy and 64/128 systems have failed on me after only a few months of use :-?
