It was the technical support departments in both cases (it was in a series of emails)... Who would ever listen to what a salesperson says? All of the statements (deriding the use of HD disks in a DD drive) have been the opinions of people who are basing their statements based on personal experience. Perhaps you should considering the significant electrical and mechanical requirements of making a floppy drive work properly. I don't care if you think it's a bad idea to use DD disks in a HD drive... It is not what you think, it is what you know.
