To be more specific, you want to get a diskette rated for "Double
Side, Double Density, 96 Tracks per Inch". The Maxell part number
is MD2-DD. To summarize:
Diskette description Mfr/Part No. Typical Use
-------------------- ------------ -----------
Double Side, Double Dens, 48TPI Maxell MD2-D IBM PC 360K
Double Side, Double Dens, 96TPI Maxell MD2-DD AT&T 3B2
Double Side, High Dens, 96TPI Maxell MD2-HD IBM PC/AT 1.2M
