According to Dave Small, on GEnie, you should not need to format
a double density floppy, but you do need to access one. According 
to Dave this causes TOS to set the floppy controller to the required
density. Just thought I'd pass this along. However I can not confirm 
this as I own Spectre 128 not GCR.
