Ron showed me something neat- on double _density_ disks, there is a notch in the middle between the metal disk shutter and the left edge of the disk. His Awful Opuses and my Bad Brown Discs both didn't have this feature. (My 10-pack of Brown Discs had one unformattable discs, and at least three that wouldn't hold data. I later complained to Software City where I bought them, and got Maxell replacements (which listed for less) and they work fine.) -- ############################################################################ # Daniel Rosenberg / Bell Labs / Murray Hill / I disclaim. # {ihnp4;allegra;research}!alice!d || {ihnp4;allegra;research}!charm!dan
