So, my statement about DD and HD 3.5" media having different coercivitywas correct? That's what I thought.


I think so.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk_format

seems to agree.  Though the difference between DD and HD 3.5in isn't
as big as between DD and HD 5.25in, so it might be close enough.

I used to see the numbers on manufactures spec. sheets, but not
anymore.
