I really don't know. I haven't found a whole lot of detailed information

adding double-sided drives an another 64k of RAM. I'll likely pick up the
machine tonight on the way home and take a peek. If I can get it for less
than $20, it would be worth it. If nothing else I can clean it up and try
to flip it on eBay. :)

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
Well played sir! However, I doubt a single-sided
drive can grok a
double-sided boot disk. :)
It depends. On MS-DOS, isn't it the case that a single-sided drive will
happily read any data that is on the first side of a disk? So couldn't you
boot from a double-sided boot disk if this is the case, and also iff all of
the data used in the bootstrap is on the first side?
