Sorry, you are confusing HD 5.25" with 3.5" HD (here we go again, <sigh>!).
Are you claiming that the coercivity specs are the same between 3.5"
"standard" density and HD media?

Not trying to be argumentative, but your statements don't jive with my
understanding and I'd like to get clear on the subject.


No, sorry, I don't keep pointers to the Usenet threads where the relevant
documentation was - I decided to stay out of these arguments, but made the
mistake of mentioning that "they work for me" which has made this argument
rear its ugly head again - note the "sigh" above... That is regret at
bringing it up...

Sorry to be a bother, then.
