However, on the PC you MUST use the HD 1.2 MB drives

the RX50 used 80 tracks, NOT 40 tracks at 10 sectors per track.
So the RX50 tracks are as close as the HD tracks (side by side)
and must be as narrow, but the track density is about the same
as the DSDD 360 KByte media which is different magnetically
from the 1.2 HD media.
You can also use a 96tpi DSQD drive such as a Teac 55F. Just declare
it as a 720K 3.5" drive. In any case, use DSDD media, not DSHD. I
can't see that bulk erasing will make much difference.
