   You can also put 800K 3.5" floppy drives in and run them as quad density -- 80   
   track, double density double sided (I think that's QD, but maybe that's the   
   wrong term.)  At any rate if you can find a 1.44 MB drive then look for a 800K   
   jumper.  There may    
   be instructions online for this but 3.5" media might be a little more durable   
   or easier to find and faster possibly too.
