But not much use, except for your own 400K disks.  Very little software
supplied on 3.5" disks uses 400K format.

I have heard several reports that a UniDisk 3.5 does _not_ work with the
Universal Disk Controller. 

At one point I got the impression that there might be two versions of
the UDC, only one of which supports the UniDisk 3.5, but the majority of
cards don't support it.

Unfortunately, I don't have a working UDC, so I can't test it.
