This became a big argument on Fesse Bouc a few months back, with some people ferociously and insistently telling me that the presence or absence of a hub ring was an absolutely foolproof, categorical, 100% correct was to tell 360kB from 1.2MB disks, always, no exceptions, and everyone in the world knew that, apart from me.
