Hello netlanders,

I am getting a new computer and need to decide whether to get 96 tpi drives
or 48 tpi drives.  I know I get double the storage with 96 tpi, but I also
give up disk compatability with them don't I?  Is there a way I could
read/write a 48 tpi disks on a 96 tpi machine.  (The system is question
is the new SB180 system described in Byte.)  Can other systems write disks
for these drives?
