@TechTangents Hmm... I hadn't thought about it much before, but it makes sense to me that the 80 track drive would have every other track line up with the center of a 40 track. If you read one edge then the other instead you'd be more likely to get bad reads. I'm not sure how you'd get the visualization you want without intentionally misaligning your drive.

@TechTangents Could be. One specific thing I remember hearing is that you shouldn't write to a disk that was formatted on a 40-track drive using an 80-track drive because it might not be able to properly overwrite the existing flux, but it's one of those things I always took for granted and never tested out.
