Forget this bit about Unifile and Duofile drives.  At one time I saw an
announcement from Apple in Nibble about them.  I thought they were
external double sided 5.25" drives for the Apple ///.  A little
research uncovers that they were actually external Twiggy drives for
the Apple II and Apple ///.  Twiggy drives were the original 880K
floppy drives created for the Lisa.  These external drives were
announced by Apple in 1983 but never released.
