While this is a little out of the thread, I have a warning for you.  A
couple weeks ago I stated that you could use the AT HD floppies.
Well, last night I had four of them fail on me at once.  All were HD
floppies that had been working fine.  No DD floppies were failing.  I
even had problems reformatting the HD's.  So, either my disk drive has
finally given up the ghost, or these HD disks are to blame.
