Nope, you thought you knew this.  There are no software programs that detect
the interleave and really care about it (at least no applications).  If a disk
is formatted for a 2:1 interleave and run on a Unidisk the disk I/O will just
be a little slower since 2:1 isn't optimal for that disk drive.  The
application never knows the difference though since Interleave is handled
below the level of ProDOS or GS/OS MLI calls.
