Apple's Disk ][ drives were almost the only drives which did NOT
support 40 tracks -- almost all other disk drives easily supported
40 tracks.
 
Personally I used a pair of TEAC drives for 40-track disks, yes
I even had an 80-track TEAC drive which I used with the Apple II,
yielding a disk size of 640K which I used on CP/M and on Apple DOS.
In the latter case, I had to split up the disk into two logical
"volumes", since Apple DOS only supported disk sizes up to about
400K, and thus a 640K disk size was too large for Apple DOS.
