Hallo William,

Thanks for the explanation but to be honest I still did not understand it 
completely.

Anyway the above took my interest. I've been collecting 2S/DD 96TPI en 2S/4D 
96TPI floppys for the last year because I just did not trust the above 
statement.

My question: is there a little more simple way why I can use DDas well, why 
they sometimes can be used in PC 1.2 MB-drives (and sometimes not) and why HD 
can not be used in the 8250?

Thanks!

Groetjes, Ruud
