Michael,
I think you're trying to find out if your disks are DD or HD, right? I
think that has nothing to do with the terms hard or soft sectored.
But to find out if your disks are DD or HD, do this:
Just format one, copy some files onto them (in your 1541), then load the
files a couple of times. From what I experienced the chances of loading
a file on a HD disk are miniscule. So, if everything loads fine they
should be DD, if you get load errors, they're HD.
That's not a scientific method, beware, just a quick'n'dirty way to test it.
Regards,
Steppe
