Disklavier

This is true.  If you place tape over the hole in the
corner of the disk that does not have the "sliding
tab", the disk will act as a 720k disk.  You can then
put it in your computer and select Format Disk.  From
the format options select "720kb disk".

People will try to sell you 720k disks at a mark-up. 
They are just taking advantage of you.
