A good point. If you have the AEHD connected to a superdrive card,
you don't need the AEHD driver and it'll read either 800k or 1.4mb
disks.
If you connect the AEHD drive up to the smartport then without
the AEHD driver it'll only read 800k disks. With the AEHD driver
you can use either 800k disks or 1.6mb disks but not 1.4mb ones.
The drive would be a lot more interesting if the 1.6mb format was
bootable.
