As long as the double density floppy has been formatted on a double
density drive, it should be usuable on both high density and double
density drives in any situation.

I help copy our campus SAS distribution.  One batch we formatted the
diskettes on double density drives, the other we bought pre-formatted
disks.   All disks were written on by about 20 IBM AT's with high
density drives.  Of the 1200 diskettes done, none have come back due
to read failure.  They were being used by all type of drives and
machines.
