Of course you can also always use high-density disks, and put a piece of
tape over the extra hole so Unidisks, non-Apple drives, and other FDHD
drives will recognize them as 800K.  Yah I know it's a waste of money,
but hell, all of my blank disks are freebies from AOL and the like
anyway... I'm still using disks from the collection I achieved over a
year ago using a macro on Prodigy Classic -- loop it and let it run 400
times, get a crate with 400 membership kits on your front doorstep! 
Sadly, they caught on and you can't do that anymore.  :<
