Never format low density disks to high density or vice versa on low density disk
drives like those on any Apple II/II+/IIc/IIe/IIGS computer, being either 5.25in
or 3.5in disks. The information is more likely to get corrupted more quickly
than using the correct disk type and may cause damage to drive heads because it
has greater difficultly reading/writing to those disks.

It is worthwhile finding the right type of disks, Verbatim are still producing
low density disks and get mines whenever I need them.
