I buy my double density disks, by the case, from www.shoplet.com for a very 
reasonable price.  They come unformatted or IBM formatted 720k.  When all is 
said and done, this is the easiest way to go.  Even with the hole taped 
over, 1.44 M disks do not have the same density magnetic material that the 
720k disks have.

Someone on this list keeps reusing the one 720k disk he has.  That is 
possible once you have copied the files to your hard drive.

Yamaha likes to keep its products backwardly compatible, so anything they 
put out needs to be in the double density format used by the older models.
