As long as you don't try to read the DD and HD disks on DD or HD
drives afterwards (almost always give bad or changed medium errors).
Someone did explain to me why this happens some time ago, but can't
remember (different track width, or stronger/weaker recording signal?)

ED drives are fine with DD and HD disks as long as you don't intend to
use them on other types of disk drive, as some software traders found
out to their cost when they had to replace large numbers of programs
sold on DD disks which had been copied using ED drives.
