If you record it with FM at 125 Kbps, you get the so called "single density". Densities rather refer to the modulation scheme used, rather than the actual media used. SD/DD/QD is the same media, with different mechanisms (the 48TPI vs 96TPI vs 100TPI mechanics/heads) and with different modulations. Again, I suggest reading the fine informations contained here: http://www.retrotechnology.com/herbs_stuff/drive.html FrankReceived on 2019-01-03 16:01:56
