Thanks, (sorry for my ignorance on these matters) I have a vague recollection that the 1.44MB floppies use a different magnetic material to the lower capacity ones. Drives that know about 1.44MB floppies *might* be able to use them at 800KB, but drives that only know about 800KB diskettes would have problems. David
