Hello all,
 
Well, the subject about says it all.  I would like to know where I can get
disks which will work in my 96tpi 80tk ds dd Tandon TM101-4 drives which
Montezuma Micro CP/M will format to 820K.  I just bought a box of Kodak MD"-HD
disks which are rated at 96tpi, but they do not format, every track fails
the verify pass.  These disks are made for high density drives (1.2Meg).
 
In the past, I have found Radio Shack 80tk 5.25" disks to work well, and also
some brands of 48tpi disks.  What is different about the high density disks
that they will not work properly on my drives?
 
Any assistance is appreciated,
