  I do too.  I have over 400 disks formatted double-sided.  Over
90% of them are Sony single-sided.  Out of all the SS formatted
as DS, only 4 of the Sonys have failed on me. I've tried this
with other brands and generics (many that are suppost to be
"made by Sony"), but with significantly higher failure rates on
all of them.

(Disclaimer:  This info only covers using 3.5" disks with an
Atari ST. I have very little knowledge as to how well this would
work on a Mac or any other machine...)
