"OK, so that's a flippy", I said to
myself. A little later, I re-read the
catalogue -- and got a different listing! I had inadvertantly catalogued
side two, with the disk right-side-up -- and realised that the tracks must
not line up, so side two had two sets of data, going in opposite rotations,
with the tracks interleaved!
This can't be possible! Otherwise, why didn't someone exploit this to
make 4-sided diskettes??
