Can someone tell me how compatible the patches to allow Prodos to use 40 track
disks are with 34 track disks?  Will Prodos complain or generate errors if
a 34 track disk is used with a 40 track modified Prodos?

Also, are there drives which cannot use 40 track disks?  (I seem to remember
some mention of IIc internal drives -- I happen to have one so please
elaborate..!)

Also, I was wandering around in Ultra Format and it didn't seem to notice that
slot 5 drive 1 (which it came up "attached" to -- if you will) was a 3.5"
drive....
