The coercivity difference of 600 v 750 is close enough that you will
often/usually get away with it (unlike the 300 v 600 of 360 v 1.2M)
Blank new 720K
3-1/2" media itself has become scarce now, though.
I still do this in my Kapro 4/84. In a pinch 1.44media will work fine
if the media select hole (not write protect) is filled. Fortunatly I have a box of 720k media.
I trust
that it is a BIG box!
