I'm beginning to doubt common sense about diskette densities.  Both
single and double sided diskettes can be formatted as if they were
double.  I'm told it's simply a difference in quality control.  On my
new 1.2 meg 5.25" drive I can format DS/DD disks at 1.2 meg?  What am I
risking by not buying HD disks?  etc.
