Don't forget Athana International. These guys have new 800k floppy disks.
They were so interested in courting that business that they bought a Classic
II
from me to be sure they were formatted correctly.
And, although the Plus's IWM isn't ready to read 1.4MB floppies, a
superdrive
installed in a Plus will act as an 800k drive, reading only 800k disks and
wanting to format 1.4MB ones.
