Hmmm, I'll have to try it out on the IIgs, which is the only place
I'd have need of DS/DD 3.5" disks....
Thought I could get away w/ DS/HD 3.5" disks with it, perhaps I should
keep my eyes open for DS/DD 3.5" disks in the thrift stores as well.
thanks, (I think.. :-) )

PS: Gee, didn't I get my DS/DD/HD abbreviations wrong in the previous
message.. <doh>

Nope the HP drives are fussy. They won't use the HD disks. I tried them
in the 9114, 9133, 9121, 9122, 9153, Integral and others and NONE of the HP
drives will format the HD disks.
I know 5.25" HD disks don't work as 5.25" DS disks.. but I thought
3.5"
disks did..
They usually will for PCs but not for the HPs.
