I assume that the drive uses High Density (HD) disks.  Will the drive
read and write Amiga formatted Double Density (DD) disks?

Last week I found out that IBMs HD drives could format 3 1/2" DS/DD disks as
1.44 meg formats because they might not be looking for the special hole on 
the HD disks (at least this is what I've heard and assumed).  Will the
AE drive also do this?
