I'm curious as to what he's offering.  I suspect it's simply a set of copied 
disks, but I'm not brave enough to risk $7.99 to find out. :)

Just so you know: I believe you can format the (somewhat) more common 
Double-Sided/Double Density disks as 400K disks.  IIRC, the difference between 
400K and 800K drives is that the former has a drive head on one side (with a 
felt-tipped "pressure pad" on the other) whilst the latter has a drive head on 
both (i.e. you can write to both sides of the disk).


Best,

James Fraser
