The only Kaypros that used single-density system tracks were the original
Kaycomp II's -- they had single-density drives.  I think that the Xerox
double-density formats had single-density boot tracks.  I have a friend
who put several 820-II's together, and I'll ask him about it (he still
has his Big Board, but he uses an Amiga now).
