💁‍♂️ NEVER format 1.44MB High Density floppies as 800K or 400K. 1.44MB High Density floppies are designed to be written with a stronger magnetic field. 400K & 800K drives Write data with a weaker signal that may develop bit-errors over time. Only use Single-Sided (400K) or Double-Sided (800K), Double-Density disks in 400K or 800K drives. You can use 400K & 800K floppies in Apple's 1.44MB "SuperDrives" because those drives automatically use a weaker magnetic field when writing to the lower density disks. All said, don't use 1.44MB disks in 800K and 400K drives, even if they seem to work fine.
