all soft-sectored floppies,
Scott, that's a pretty tall claim! How are you at Durango 850 100 tpi GCR

Hey Chuck,
Valid points.
I've never been able to obtain 3.25" floppies, so I can't
validate that I can make my one drive do anything--and I certainly did not
think of considering the media smaller than 3.5". Sorry for disregarding
all you Amstrad fans, as I thought there was a specific hobbybase concern
there already.
I do have 100 tpi drives (teacs), but I've never heard of them recorded
with GCR. You certainly will have more experience with those obscure
formats for sure. No doubt you can come up with dozens I'll never
encounter or even be able to verify existence of in my lifetime.
Suffice it that I may disappoint if called upon for any of those one-shot
proprietary media formats :-D
Shall we instead see what practical potential for discount arises?
Cheers :)
