Made sense to me... In my meager days (while going to
school) I turned
over and used Apple ][ floppy's. I wouldn't say they didn't hold up but I
did have enough disk errors on diskettes I did this with to decide to quit
the practice.
And yes I do wish I had not ever done this.
Shure ? I had the feeling an Disk ][ drive could write and
almost anything including a Bierfilzl - I had (or better
still have) more than 1200 A2 Disks, most of them 'double'
sided and only one time a read error - and this disk was
one of the single siders (I still can go mad about that
Disk - I lost the result of a 2 days and nights programming
session (not to mention I lost also money, since the deadline
had to be changed).
I guess most of the disks are still readable - at least when
ever I power up my A2 I can start what ever I want.
Gruss
