old floppy drives

    The 720 has one sensor near the door at the left side, which is for the
write protect. The 1.44 has the write protect sensor on the left and a 1.44
sensor on the right. Note how 1.44 disks have a rectangular hole on the
right side of the label, but not 720 disks.
    1.2 versus 360... duh, I don't know, besides trying it on a PC. If you
get a seek error for tracks >39, then probably 360k, but don't quote me on
that.
     Ever thought of making a RAID floppy subsystem? ;)

     Regards,
