The RX23 is a 1.44 Mb floppy. You use HD media. Not DD media.

P.s. ( You might want to check your caps lock on your Keyboard.)
2472.2because it isn't DD media ?DEKVC::YOUNGKOOKLEEWed Mar 21 1990 19:008
    
    You mean 1.0Mb HD media can't be used in RX23 drive ? ( only DD
    media available ? )
    
    If so, any other vendor's media compatible with our RX23 media ?
    
    Thanks a lot.

>P.s. ( You might want to check your caps lock on your Keyboard.)

    I'm afraid that's too subtle for our Korean colleagues.  Mr. Lee is
    in a culture (called "the Field" by Engineering in the US) where typing
    in capital letters seems to be the norm.

    Mr. Lee, what Jeff meant was that in Notes files it is considered proper
    to type in upper and lowercase letters.  All capital letters is reserved
    for emphasis or shouting.

The RX23 can read and Write 1.44MB (HD) media. 

It can only READ 720K media (DD).
