ONCE MORE!
Do you want to read double sided disks?
If so, then you need the 851.? Option board will certainly not give you
capability of reading double sided disks in a single sided drive.
C: But the option board just reads flux. Why couldn't you put a double sided disk in a
single sided drive and read it off. My Commie 1541-II used to read the one side of a
single sided disk. Maybe I don't have an acceptable understanding of what the Option
Board/software does.
