I went into Richer Sounds (UK) on Saturday to buy some 80 minute discs (I
haven't seen them for sale anywhere locally yet). The salesman told me: "We
don't sell 'em - too unreliable". When I pressed him for details, he told me
the new discs "take the tracks right to the edge, and most MD machines can't
cope", so they stopped selling them to prevent further returns.
As I understand it, the 80 minute discs have a narrower track
spacing, and the problem he described would only happen if you cloned an 80
minute TOC onto a normal 74 minute disc. I suppose some machines might get
confused by a different track spacing. Can anyone enlighten me ?
