Modified to spin at half speed, that was the only way to make Amiga read HD floppies with its 9 year old never updated floppy controller.

Honestly, I’m amazed it took Commodore so long to properly support high density floppies. I’m pretty sure they stuck to the double density 880K GCR format right up to the 4000 series Amiga. Meanwhile, Atari was supporting high density media in some capacity as early as 1990 in their higher end systems.
