Re: 400k disks

[Daniel Kendell]

Please, if you want your data to last, and not to ruin perfectly good 
1.44Mb (HD) discs, do /not/ just tape over the hole and use them. 
That'll work for one or two uses, but you will damage the disc and it 
will become completely unusable.

I have had this with old Acorn BBC's and Masters, HD discs that have 
been bodged to come up as a DD do not survive it for long.
