Yes - 800Kb floppies are double-sided 400Kb ones, so same track and bit density.Changing the subject, but not altogether different, I suppose it's safe to format an 800K disk as 400K, correct? That's what I've heard, and I've made three 400K disks on 800K media recently with success.
I remember debates at the time as to whether you could use both sides of a 400Kb floppy in a 800Kb drive. In the days when floppies were �2 or $4 each.
Some people said no. Others said yes. Sound familiar?
