I've often wondered if there's any technical reason why you can't just
write an identical copy of each track twice when writing a 40-track
disk with an 80-track drive, rather than double-stepping. This might
not work so well when creating/copying files, but what about when an
image is being written to the disk in one go, such as writing a floppy
image using OmniFlop?
