I can send you four of them, they just fit into this disk transport
envelope here. Two of them in orignal DOS 1 format with some meaningless
data, one is SFD1001 formatted and one is 8250 formatted. So you have
some more material to test your drives with. BTW, the SFD managed to
read this freshly formatted disk, but it needed some retries. Still
strange ;-)
Oh, and give me your address and you will get the disks.

I think Dolphin DOS for the 1571 makes such things: it uses 2MHz mode
even in 1541 emulation. This kills compatibility with games completely
:-(
