Diskette compatibility question.

Hi,

I have only one diskette that came with a Heathkit H89 computer. It's
a soft-sectored 5 1/4" Dysan 107/1 flavour. I also have a couple
boxes of "newer" 5 1/4" diskettes that i used in the IBM pc world,
which are also soft-sectored, but are double sided, and single or
double density. I am wondering if i can reformat these (in CP/M for
example) and use them in the H89? It makes sense that i should be
able to do this, since they're obviously better quality (ie. can
store more info) than the older SSSD's, but I'm not sure if I can do
this. I would test it, however, at this time, i don't have format.com
for the H89.

Thanks Bob
