   To muddy the waters even further, I have an AE HD 3.5 drive that does   
   not work as a 1.44 MB drive.  Apparently it can only do 800 KB and 1.6   
   MB GCR formats.  There was an AE HD+ 3.5 drive that could do 800 KB and   
   1.6 MB GCR and 720 KB and 1.44 MB MFM formats with the appropriate   
   controller.   
      
   At least, that is my memory of it from long ago.
