In the Apple II Technical Notes (available on ftp.apple.com), Pascal
Note #16 is 'Driver to Have Two Volumes on One 3.5" Disk'. It includes
a description (and a driver) on how to put two 400K volumes on a
single 3.5 inch disk. The technique could be expanded to include many
more volumes on a hard disk.
