I have been told that a while back this forum discussed the
viability of using the single sided 3.5" diskettes as double
sided disks.  I somehow missed the discussion on this.  With
the release of the new double sided floppy drive,
it would seem appropriate and informative to summarize the
conclusions reached at that time.  I am sure there will be
a few people with a stash of the SS floppies wondering about
what to do with them.

Also, I was searching around for double sided floppies and
and found a brand from an office supplies store (Grand & Toy)
called Dysan.
I visited about 3 computer stores and none had the DS one,
and all had the SS disks and double density disks.
What I liked to know is does anyone have any
experience with the Dysan brand and also what other floppy
manufacturers make DS disks (e.g., Sony?)? 

Thanks in advance,
