Hi
Unless the software had a problem with the final gap,
I see no reason why one couldn't just leave it run at 300 RPM.
We are not talking about the need to fill the entire disk surface,
just putting an image on the disk. A long final gap shouldn't
be an issue??

A 5.25" 1.2M would be the easiest, and should
be almost entirely an issue
of cabling.
A 3.5" 1.4M would be tempting, but the drive would have tobe
modified/jumpered for 360RPM.
...and IIRC, either drive would need to provide "Drive Ready" signals.
Many 5.25" 1.2M drives could do that with a jumper, but 1.44M 3.5" drives
rarely have that capability, so you'd need to add it.
