I always thought the difference was the number of hole's at the
end of the disk.. One of the hole's is for write protect. The others
presence (or absence) indicates HD, or DD. (HD disks had the second
hole)
But then again, I'm the guy who (mistakenly) thought 3.5" HD disks
would work as DD. :-)

This brings up an interesting point; how do you tell
the difference
between DD and HD diskettes? My usual method was to try and format them
on a DD drive, and if they formatted, they were DD :). Is there a better
method?

At no point has the price differential been so extreme as to justify using
the wrong diskette on a regular basis. Admittedly, there can be
"emergencies", where the correct diskette is unavailable that might result
in a need to make do with a wrong one.
