I have an external double sided Atari drive (I think it is a 314)
which can handle disks formatted to 82-83 tracks.  The drive in my
1040 doesn't like these disks and causes a lot of read/write errors.
If you go over the standard format, you may run into reliability
problems.  I try to keep to the standard format disks.  I may get an
extrak 100K with some other formats, but if I lose the data it isn't
worth it.
