Re using both sides .. I shall not address the safety of this, wear and tear,
certified sides, etc.  (That's been discussed plenty.)

However, the index holes are no problem.  I have a batch of junk disks
I experiment with.  THREE holes now!  One at about 1:00 for single-side
drives, one at about 2:00 for regular double side (yep, that's how the
drive can tell!), and one at 11:00 for flipping single-sided ones.

PS: you have to tape over the double-sided one if you want to do single-side
or flip-side on a double-side drive!  Gave me fits for a while.
