Hmmm... I should have read that more carefully. If it's what I think you
mean, it's a single/double density 80-track 5.25" in there. The same
argument about reading/writing 40 tracks on an 80-track drive applies (just
as for a 1.2MB "HD" drive) but you won't have to worry about speed (300/360
rpm) or (de)selecting HD.

If you're using a PC, though, you may have to find a controller capable of
single density.
