Must we re-hash this subject yet again?!?! I have contacted two floppy manufacturers (TDK & Maxell) and they both state that there is no concern in using HD floppy disks in a DD drive. I have done it on many occasions and the failure rate is no worse than using 1 Meg floppy disks. If you wish to use 1 Meg disks, they are still manufactured and are available, but it is certainly not a requirement.
