I did this on an Acorn Archimedes disk and though okay at first, the floppy got corrupted after a few days. Bad idea!

- waqf 16y agoThe Archimedes would format any floppy to any density, so you didn't need the hole punch.
- zandorg 16y agoMy point was that formatting a 800kb disk to 1600kb (as you could on the Archimedes) is likely to - and in my experience has - corrupt after a few days of use, and thus is not worth the amount of money saved. Luckily it was just copied games that got corrupted, but it could have been worse.
