................

Victor disks are not 'quad density' (I think, what is quad?).  What Victor
has done is vary the rate the floppy spins so more of the outer tracks can
be used.  The drives actualy change speed based on which track the head is at.

you might get the disk controler to not do that and could then read any
double density disk (I think).

'luck.
