Wait... I never realised standard / double density drives couldn't write to high density disks? I assumed they just had higher magnetic particle count or something so you could pack the tracks closer together, but if a lower density drive wanted to it could just write big fat tracks across them as if they were lower density?

Maybe I'm being really thick, like a standard density track?
