Substituting DSHD for DSDD disks (or DS2D if you prefer)

Quite a few boxes of 3.5" HD, a few boxes of 5.25" DD, but zero 3.5" DD and 5.25" HD. 3.5" HD media just killed off the use of 3.5" DD and 5.25" HD, I suppose. I'm not sure what the reason for my finding a few boxes of 5.25" DD was, though - perhaps it was just produced in sufficient volume for there to still be a few survivors kicking around. I've never had any luck finding used disks anywhere locally; people are a bit too concerned about data theft these days, and all of that seems to go straight to landfill. cheers Jules
