This is for a proprietary "typewriter" system so I am concerned that these 
issues may be a problem - particularly as the manual for it has very 
specific warnings that HD disks will not work with this system.

It is important that the data exchange is reliable for a number of reasons 
so if I can get DSDD disks I can make sure that a potential issue never 
arises (I hope).
