[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Japanese diskette format

zateslo@geomag.gly.fsu.edu (Ted Zateslo) (10/18/90)

We were sent a 5 1/4" disk from a Japanese colleague that we can't
read.  It is a Maxell disk marked "MDHD256" and the box says "80 
track".  We tried reading it as a 1.2MB disk and as a 720K disk,
with no success.  Has anybody had experience with these?  And what
does the "256" refer to?  Thanks...
