I have read a lot recently about punching/melting a hole in your average
720K disk, then using it as a 1.44 meg disk.  Now I have TONS of cheap bulk
disks (DS/DD) anc converting them over would save me a LOT of money.  How
reliable will these converted disks be... and, besides cosmetically, what
are the differences between 1.44 and 720K disks?

Thanks in advance!!
