- I think some of the Xerox 820 formats use a track 0 which is
- single density. A standard PC floppy controller probably won't
- read a single density track, since that pin on the controller is
- not connected to anything. On the 22DISK DOCUMENTATION near the
- back, it's explained how to modify a card to read single density.
- With this modification, I've been able to read single density Osborne
- and Heathkit diskettes.
