Hello,
I just picked up a box of 720KB double density 3.5" floppies which
came formatted for IBM. So I reformatted them with CopyII+ and ended up
with 800KB prodos...
I couldn't find a single point in which they differ *physically* from
800KB diskettes I have, are they in fact the same?
My guess is that they are the same thing but that IBM's formatting
has more overhead than Apple's.
C2+ asked if I would like to use High Speed Interleave... I didn't.
Does anyone think I should have??? I understand what this means, but not
how it applies to Apple II's.
