Re: Initializing 3.5" 800K floppies: AEHD+ vs Superdrive

By any chance are the ones that are failing in the Superdrive formatted
for IBM DOS? I seem to recall a problem where the disk would fail to
Initialize on the first attempt. Ejecting and immediately reinserting
for a second attempt would solve the problem.

What was it now? Same disk, but when formatted it was 720k for IBM and
800K on the Apple? Going on long term memory here so things are a bit
blurry.
