A side note on MSDOS disks on the Amiga.  Most high density (e.g. 1.44MB)
floppy drives are *not* guarenteed to write reliably to 720K disks that
will later be read on older, non-high density drives.  This could be one
cause of problems people have going from the PC back to the Amiga.

In my experience, the low density drive can read the file written on the
hd drive 95% of the time, but it can still fail.  When I have a time
constraint, I make two copies on two different disks.
