Assuming the drive is a "1.2MB" 5.25", it will probably be capable of
reading a 40-track disk, but writing is a different matter -- the track it
will lay down will only be approximately half the width of the track a real
40-track drive will use. You will probably get usable results if you
bulk-erase the media before writing, but it would be best to make a good
copy on the RML drives as soon as you can transfer the disk. Look in the
classiccmp archives for the full debate on 35/40/80 tracks,
single/double/high density, and the rest :-)
