I thought you could use 3.5" HD/DD disks in a DS/DD drive just fine. At
worst a piece of tape over the "wrong" hole if necessary.
I know 5.25" HD disks don't work as 5.25" DS disks.. but I thought
3.5"
disks did..
? (Of course, I haven't tried it recently enough to remember either.)

Any original
games on those 3.5's?
I generally buy my disks bulk on ebay when I see a bargain. Most of my old
16 bit computers use those rare 3.5 DD disks, found 500 new for $20 once..
Odd, most of my 16 bit machines use 8" disks...
Are 3.5" DD floppies that hard to obtain? I've seen them on sale in high
street shops over here in the last week or so (at twice the rpice of the
HD ones, of course...). If they're getting hard to find, I'd better stock
up, as my 9114s need them...
