This is probably irrelevant but there are many more but only the first
two are common.

DD 720/800KB
HD 1440/1600KB (Applied Engineering had a 1600KB format)
ED 2880KB
Floptical 20MB
LS-120 120MB
Sony HiFD 150MB
LS-240 240MB

All these drives are backwards compatible with DD & HD diskettes
(apart from DD drives and HD diskettes).
