Sorry--it won't do it. The SuperDisk drive has 3.5" floppy capability
just as a sop to compatibility, and is not in any way capable of the
variable speed 800KB Apple 3.5" tricks.
It will work fine for standard 1.44MB 3.5" disks, but that's it--well,
that and the native SuperDisk formats, of course. ;-)
