Something that can format floppies for the RX01 can effectively format RX02 floppies, too.

An RX02 drive can convert RX01-formatted floppies to RX02-formatted floppies.

Given how arcane the RX02 format is (sector _headers_ are written in single
density; sector _data_ is written in double) I'd be pretty surprised if
anything except an RX02 can do it.
