Charles has given some excellent answers to your questions however I would like
to address the TDD question in more depth.  The first TDD (100K) has 80 tracks
with one sector taking up the whole track and ONE very low resolution head.
The TDD-2 (200K) also has 80 tracks with two sectors per track and ONE head
with slightly higher resolution, hence the reason that the TDD-2 can read disks
made on the first TDD while it can't read disks made on the TDD-2.  If you have
a TDD-2 and want to see what is written in the sectors download MONTD2.BA from
the Drives directory in the online library, FLOPPY must be resident to use this
program.  -=Robert=-
