GIVEN:  You have a quad-density floppy (i.e. it can be formatted to 1.4MB
        on an Apple FDHD drive) that has been formatted to the 800K,
        double-density double-sided format on a FDHD drive.

QUESTION:  Can this disk be read on a standard 800K Apple floppy drive?

                           "That's why I have a few modest suggestions to
                            solve the art problem... The federal appointment
                            of an Arts Czar.  I recommend somebody who doesn't
                            know anything about art, in much the same way
                            William Bennett, our Drugs Czar, doesn't know
                            anything about drugs, law enforcement, or
                            education.  Folks, I volunteer."
