in my experience i never ever had such a problem. i do agree that you are taking a risk -
you're messing around with something - but finding DS/DD disks isn't easy these
days.
ultimately with my setup i went to the syquest drive and copied all of my samples to those
removeables.

DON'T!
A DS/HD floppy is of lower magnetic capacity then a DS/DD. If you cover the hole, the
drive will certainly think it's a DS/DD and certainly write to it, but it's
highly questionable if the disk will retain the information reliably.
Just get some DS/DD floppies.
