Is there any reason that the 9122 DS drive won't read a SS diskette for
the 9121?
A small thing about DOS formatted HP SSDD disks:
They are marked as double-sided. When the system reads the first
sector and sees that it's marked as double-sided it will try to read
the next sector off the other side. No idea why HP did this.
Naturally, MS|IBM-DOS ignores the double-sided bit.
A system has to try to read the next sector from the same side of the
disk if reading the second sector fails. There's nothing else to tell
the system it's single-sided.
Would be nice to get *nix & fdparm to work with SSDD floppies.
