- Well, you are not the first one who invented such a 'conversion'.
- A friend of mine has 'converted' all his DD 3.5" disks two years ago and
- there was no errors while using them. I think it's one of the best things
- he devised.
- Hmmm... Maybe in 1993 his disks will turn into REAL JUNK, but he
- hasn't any problems now.
-
- P.S. ...they sell a tool to do this??? I'd like to look at those fool who
- uses this tool!..! My friend used an awl and a screwdriver only!
