I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but I have an observation that
appears to be relevant to this discussion.  I've noticed that in at least
a couple ads I've seen, mail order houses were offering double sided
disks for the same price as for single sided disks.  Whether this is
because DS and SS disks are essentially the same or whether it's for some
other reason I cannot say.  Perhaps others on the net would have some kind
of explanation for this phenomenon.
