Several have implied that using 720k disks as 1.44m "seems to work OK". I'm
curious if this is the same "seems to work" used for SRB O-ring analysis, or
can someone give a short technical explanation.  I would think bit density
per inch, number of tracks per side, single or double sides, special encoding
schemes are the type of info that could lead to a more definitive answer.
