Re: Apple II Disk Drive Question

Hi,
I think the heads on my drives can go out to about 37 or 38 tracks, but not
40.  It's possible to use these extra tracks if you hack DOS, but some
drives might not support them at all and normal disk utilities that expect
35 tracks won't find the extra tracks, for example, ADT wouldn't image data
on the higher tracks.
