Re: Disks for 3.5" drive



<<<The 720k disks will work fine once you reformat them in your 
Apple.  The HD disks will work, but will cause confusion if you 
ever put the disk in a Mac drive, say, to transfer data.  I have 
heard from some sources that the media of the HD disks is actually 
not compatible with the Apple 800k drives, but I can't verify that 
from my own experience. >>>

I certainly can.  I have two AMR drives and an AE drive, and none 
of them are 100% reliable with HD media.  Perhaps true Apple 
drives are a little more tolerant (I couldn't say) but I would be 
very leery of thinking that I could share 800K HD disks with any 
drive but the one they are made on.
