One word of caution regarding the use of DD disks in HD drives: it's
been my experience that which this may appear to work, problems
sometimes arise when one attempts to read the data written in a DD disk
by an HD drive. It's only reliable as long as you're using the same
drive; on quite a few occasions over the years I've had this happen when
attempting this. So, it's safest to write to DD disks with DD drives,
although this should be readable by any HD drive.
