Today I received the blank discs and they are not the ds dd 360k ones
I expected, but ds hd 1.2 mb ones. Before I open the box, will they
work?


No, they won't. This is like using "Metal" type tapes on your CrO2 deck.
The drive will not be able to magnetize the disk properly.

This is what I feared. Well will complain to the seller again and see
if I can get some working disks from another source.
If you bought these discs from the guy advertising them as "Atari 800/Apple II" discs, I've pointed it out to him a few years ago that it would not work on Apple II. His response was "it worked fine" on his Atari setup, and he isn't responsible for Apple being crap... but continue to advertise the floppy as being compatible with Apple II...
