- Now that I want to read it again, I can't for the life of me find that
- article. I suspect it said only the 1.4M density, since the PLI
- floptical that I just got doesn't read 800K or 400K disks either.
- PLI's service department confirms that it's not supposed to.
- (I was laboring under the misapprehension that it would.) Mine has
- had no problems with 1.4M disks formatted elsewhere; I've only had
- it for 5 days so far though. Caveat: I'm running a MAC (LC); don't
- know how different the GS version might be.
- Repeat: I've seen no problems, and I like having a second HD drive.
