	With respect to formatting a low density disk at high density:

	I have been doing the "punch a hole" trick for about a year and
	have had only minor problems.  The only word of caution....
	MAKE SURE THE HOLE IS IN THE CORRECT LOCATION!! IF IT IS OFF TO
	ONE SIDE, TOO LOW, OR TOO HIGH, the drive will give the standard
	error (ie think it is a low density disk).  Good luck.
