Quality Computer's disk drives are definitely double-sided.  They have a
320K capacity, and they automatically use both sides of the disk (40 tracks
per side).  They also automatically detect disks formatted for 35 tracks and
will read and write them without any problems.

The switch on the front which switches between the heads will not allow
you to access both sides of a flippie disk without flipping it -- the
switch changes heads, but it doesn't make the drive motor go the other way.
Sure would be nice if it did, though!
