4 MB floppies intended to format as 2.88Mb are marked as ED. They work
in the 2.88Mb drives which were in the 750C and are available as new old
stock for ~$25. I've got them in a 755CE and a 760ED and they work fine
with latest BIOS. Seems like IBM just kept them in the ThinkPad BIOS
even when they didn't catch on in the world in general. Regular
2MB/1.44MB HD floppies should NOT be formatted as 2.88MB or you will get
large number of unusable tracks!
