Mark, these are double sided, double density disks (DS-DD, 720K) and the Apple II 5.25" drives are single sided, single density (SS-SD, 360K).

Hello Martin,

I seem to remember that the Apple II drives are double density (but of course it's true that they are single sided).

AFAIK, single density 5.25" disks were in use for a very short time only and stored only about 70-90K per side, depending on the format. In the 8" area they're more common though.

Best Wishes,
