Ok, I wasn't aware of any 96tpi drives except the

they ever used in the PC marketplace, or was it mostly a DEC thing?

will give you a list of some of them.
If Bill indeed has DSDD media, bulk erasing the media
before applying
it to the 96tpi (non-HD) drive should work fine. This erases the old
data from between the new (half as wide) tracks, so it doesn't
interfere with reading.
That seems to be working for almost everyone except Tony!
