Talinom writes "Tom's Hardware has a story that details information regarding some of the new (and old) copy protection schemes out there, as well as results from several different CDRW drives. There are a lot of sites devoted to this topic, but Tom's is usually rather thorough."

    going from low to high density was very late in the game. Long before high density drives were heard of, there were single sided floppies. By punchin a hole in the side opposite to the write-protect notch, you could flip your floppy over and get a two sided flippy (not a typo: a floppy you flipped was a flippy:)
