-> The Model I used SS/SD drives.  I think I remember (this
I had a double density board in mine, which allowed DD drives, and used
NEWDOS, which supports double sided drives, and 80 track drives too... so I
had an 80 track drive (TM100-4), double sided double density and got 720k
out of it.  I also had a 40 track DSDD and a 40 track SSDD drive (my boot
drive).  It was sort of a pain because none of my drives were compatible
with each other, but I sure got lots of disk space! :-)
