Well the bad news is that you cannot currently make a bootable? DSDD
diskette. You are stuck with using your SSDD drive as drive A, and the 
big guy as drive B. Conflicting rumours abound as to Atari's intention
to remedy this situation, but the best theory is that it won't be fixed
until all of their supply of SS drives are exhausted. (Also hard drives
won't be available until they figure that everyone went for a DS drive.)

Really this ain't so bad, unless you just wanted to trash your small drive
and go for two big ones. I figure that the final configuration: 
	A: SSDD
	B: DSDD
	C: HD
is a pretty good one.
