I was going to say that I just snagged one of those drives on eBay, but it isn't here yet. I was hoping to see if I can write 400k disks on my IIgs. Do you need to have special disks for this?, or will it write an 800k disk to 400k?
I tried out some 400k drives with a UDC card. It worked well enough. After being formatted 400k, any Mac or Apple II drive that would read 800k disks would read and write to the 400k disks. Often the back side of 400k disks is damaged so it wasn't considered a good idea to reuse 400k disks in 800k drives. Last year I wanted to use an external 400k drive with a 512 Mac and found the grease in all my 400k drives had congealed. Had to clean and relube all of them Wayne
