I believe the RANA drives are double density, double sided drives
that store a healthy amount per disk.
I don't know if a prodos driver is available for RANA drives,
but a dos 3.3 one is.  If my memory is right (read that double-check 
first) standard apple drives should be compatible with this card.

To use the double-density feature requires RANA drives, 
and a preboot disk.
