*** warning: stupid question alert ***

So I've got this Mac here, see? And it has a SuperDrive, right? It can 
access MFM disks (720K and 1440K) - it can even create ProDOS 720K 
disks, given the right software. And it can access GCR disks, OK? 
And it handles HD disks, OK?

Why then can this Mac not read 1600K floppies, so that I could use 
&@#$#^& HD disks for exchange with my GS?!?
