I can't see the disk II working at double density, the heads are too big. you
can write to track $23 so use that for extra storage. Hey, one track is better
than none!!! BTW the $.21 disks are not rated for 720K, they are only
guaranteed up 360k. They can be formatted to 720 or even 1.44M, but I wouldn't
put anything you'd want to keep on them.                 ^^^^^ sorry 1.2M
Go for the 3.5", physically stronger higher density and supported by Apple.
