Well, just yesterday I through a DS DD Disk in and guess what happened?
A dialog poped up asking if I want to format double or single sided.
I hit single sided and got a 400 K disk. So what is all the fuzz about that?
I even could copy things on it...
Maybe that is not a MFS disk, but it is 400 K?

Puzzled,

Oliver.
