[Coco] 5 1/4 drives on the PC

I keep reading about how careful you have to be to use a 1.2 MiB drive 
in a PC to create disks for the CoCo.
For years now, I've been using one of such drives (Panasonic ju-475-5) 
in any way possible, to create, read, write, update.... my CoCo disks 
without any problem.
I use DISKINI.EXE and RETRIEVE.EXE, as well as DK's emulator. Those disk 
go to my CoCo, were they are used whit out any issues, with files being 
constantly added, erased and updated.
Am I very lucky? Maybe the drive is a very good one? Or it's because the 
disks I use are not 1.2 MiB ? (I do use those for PC related projects)
Anyone else has this kind of problem free experience?

Diego
