Does DOS 3.10b "support" two sided disk drives?  Can I make calls to
the "raw" interface to look at the bottom side of the disk that is in
the TEAC drive that I replaced my RX-50's with?  Or do I have to hack
on the interface between the 8088 and the Z80?  Is this another of
those "Try it and let us know" sort of deals.  I don't have an I
drive.  I don't want to buy one because TEACs are cheaper and work
just as well, baring a small s/w snag now.  The TEACs work well for
single sided disks.

Just curious,
