In MS-DOS, the DS version was usually called 1.25, but (other than
GWBASIC) seemed to be the same as PC-DOS 1.10
(Yes, you could get an unofficial patch
KLUDGE
for 1.0 that added double sided support, but the
mechanism it used
wasn't compatible with the 1.1 mechanism.)
VERY!
It assigned additional drive letters, and used the second side of each
drive as if it were another disk!
Somewhere, in one of Sellam's boxes from my office is an original copy of
the sheet of paper containing that patch.
