Re: Disks?

	You can reformat them, but they should be Double Density disk.  Apple IIs
don't appreciate high density disks (very unpredictable behavior).  First,
you'll be lucky if it even runs on High Density disk.  Second, you'll be even
luckier if it runs on another Apple II.  

	I once made a working copy a program to show around to teachers in their
classrooms, but it only worked on two other machines.  The problem?  Even
though the disk had a retaining ring, they were high density disks.  You can't
always depend on the box; you have to read any labels on the disk as well.
(O.K., it's rare, but it did happen and I took back five boxes of mismarked
disks.)

<< I have an Apple 2e and was wondering if you can buy IBM formatted 5.25"
disks and format them on the 2e or do I need to buy 5.25" disks for Apple?
I'm confused and need some blank disks.
