And AFAIK all those heads are the same size. All those drives (Mac and 
PC) record 80 cylinders) at 135tpi. 

There is no problkem moving (720K) disks between 720K and 1.44M drives 
(there was moving 5.25" 360K disks between 360K and 1.2M drives because 
the former is a 40 cylinder unit, the latter an 80 cylinder one).

There were a few 40 cylinder (67.5 tpi) 3.5" drives, but AFAIK they were 
never standard on Macs or IBM PC compatibles.
