If memory serves correctly...
...according to a rep from QC that presented the drive to an Apple User
meeting in Dallas last month, the drive does have two heads, and it can be
used as two volumes, similar to "flippies".  The only problem with this is
that the second side will spin in reverse when placed in a drive upside down
the way most flippies are used.  But there is a switch on the front that
allows the drive to format both sides as one volume of about 280k.  The OS
must be patched I think, but it will see it as a larger 5" drive.
