"high-density" is even more meaningless than referring to them by their
capacity in a given format. It is a BOGUS marketing term! Bogus as it may be, compatible media for those drives
commonly has "HD" printed on the box and molded into the diskette's plastic
jacket. It's a useful term for identifying the compatible media.
Yes.
Sadly, the least ambiguous ways that we can describe what we mean require
that we use BOGUS marketing deceptive names.
