How should we configure 22disk to be able to do the

of the same floppy disk?
Inserting Side 2 in the definition table is not enough ....
Actually, it is almost that ;-)
I have a similar system, the fl100 floppy drive system, part of the
Grundig ptc100 (i.e. Mupid 2)
A: is side 0, and B: is side 1. Here's my 22disk definition for this.
Please note, the trick is to define a two-sided format for the second side
and first describe side 2 ! The definition of side 1 will be ignored
because the CP/M directory won't specify any block beyond the first side.
And of course, the track order is by cylinder, not by side.
