AHA!
Since I've no hard drive (and my CFFA isn't coming til Jan or Feb), I'm
using nothing but my 8-bit stuff from my //e, which would explain what
I'm seeing here.
As an aside, I've installed two of the three FDHD mechs from Shreve.
One of them seems to be destroying floppies, be they DD or HD. I guess
this means, as with all old disk drives, be sure you test them
thoroughly with expenable media before entrusting them with your
valuable old disks. Shreve has a 30-day warranty, so I guess it will go
back. I'll test the last mechanism tonight.
