	I don't think that the disk actually gets formatted to higher density,
rather an extra track gets formatted that is usually wasted.  I use an extra-
track formatter for my Atari ST and it has never given me any problems, and a
friend uses a similar program for his IBM-clone, but his is kind of a hassle
because you have to run a program to "tell" the BIOS to access the extra
track.  Aside from that, it works OK, I guess.
