Back to the drawing board I guess.
Most 8" disks (assuming that the aperture in the jacket is in a position
that matches the index sensor on your drive) will work just fine in
either density or side-edness. There is no difference in the media coating.
The one thing that you do have to watch out for is getting a batch of
hard-sectored (33 holes punched round the cookie) when what you want is
soft-sectored (1 hole).

P.S. Doesn't the 820-II also work with 5.25" 48 tpi (360K) drives?
