Am I understanding this correctly?  Does this mean that a regular density disk
(ie: DS/DD) written on a high density drive will get read/write errors more
frequently than those written on a regular density drive?  Or am I
misunderstanding
the above message?

And if I _am_ understanding it correctly, is there any reason for it?
