Rumor is that Apple (most Shugard drives in fact) are capable of
double density recording butr controllers are behind the times.  As an
Apple, I would be very interested in drives with 630k/side. (80 tracks,
32  sector/track).  Of course I don't expect Apple to tell me about this, so
does anyone out there know of a way (if any) to:
   1  Allow the apple/Quentin/etc. drives to use all 80 tracks
       (its claimed the existing drives can do this now)
   2  Allow the apple to use something called MFM recording

All info is most helpfull.     ..!noscvax!sdcsvax!sdccs6!ix255
