OK, I tested. I saved the above post to a 1.4 MB floppy. Then I treated the
floppy with my 15-year-old Radio Shacck "Realistic Magnetic Tape Eraser" that I
bought for degaussing cassette tapes used with my TRS-80 Model 1. I then
replaced the floppy in the drive and tried to read it. Result:
[C:\]a:
SYS0027: The drive cannot find the sector (area) requested.
So now I'm reformatting it.
