To be specific the DOS I use, as do many others, has the following drive
table
drive value
0 1
1 2
2 $41
3 $42
This makes all drives singles but includes using the second head. The
standard table is
drive value
0 1
1 2
2 4
3 $40
I should also point out that one can (and I have) expand the OS-9 drive
tables in the same manner so that both true double sided disks and dual
singles can be used at the same time.
