Hi Adrian and Ron,

From what I understand, if you are going to use a 1.44Mb HD floppy with
the window taped over, as a 720kb DD floppy, start with a HD floppy that
has never been formatted. UNFORMATTED 1.44Mb disks are readily
available. Doing it this way provides a more stable floppy.

I've had bad luck with this.  Trying to format the 720Kb even using
the 720Kb settings in a 1.4 capable drive seems to generate buggy
disks.   Use the disklavier module itself to format them.  It's down
there under DISK or the like in the menus.
