SOME PC FDCs should be able to handle it.
Dave Dunfield has a small program that you can use to determine whether
your PC has a suitable (FM/SD capable) controller
(Stock PC does not support single density, but SOME FDC chips can do it.)
It is apparently single density, using a 1771 chip, with 9 256 byte
sectors per track. single sided, but with provision for expansion to
double sided, and/or double density.
