Single Sided disks useable in a IIx?

2003-12-18 by herrdw@prodigy.net

Hello everyone,

I posted this question a while back on the Holmes pages, maybe someone
here can help.

Is it possible to format Single Sided/Double Density disks for a IIx?
I have 3 full boxes of new disks and a whole bunch of old ones that
I'd like to use. The old disks are apparently from my IIx's former
life as a series I. I know capacity would be limited, but as long as
they would hold a few .VC and .CO files and one moderately sized .RS,
they'd be good for a one disk per song sort of thing.

All help, and the QDOS formatting commands, would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Daniel
