This sparked a memory of the LS-240 SuperDisk drives that could format a 1.44 MB floppy to hold 32 MB. Of course only usable on an LS-240 drive, and the entire disk had to be re-written any time a change was made.

Aren't these the ones that lost out to the Zip drive, before we found out about the Click of Death? Sad days.
