Yes, it involves punching an appropriately-placed sector aperture in the
jacket. As a matter of fact, several manufacturers sold 8" floppies
with that feature right from the factory. Media was expensive back
then--typically $5-$10 per floppy, so there was a good reason for
it--and this was in pre-1980 hyperinflation dollars when McDonalds
offered a burger, fries and drink for less than a dollar and you could
purchase a new car for $3000.
does the early Option Board work w/single sided
drives?
I don't see why it wouldn't.
