First of all, without sounding snide, I didn't say there were SSSD drives.
What I DID say was, they COULD read them. We read and wrote 90k
Atari disks on them all the time. Yes, I know, GCR/MFM problem. No
need to repeat it. Thanks. Also, the reason IBM drives cannot read/write
Apple II disks is not the fault of the drive, but of the rom in the drive
and
motherboard control. Anyway, That's all I'm going to say, being all there
is here in ALL the csa2 groups is negativity. Have fun.
