    Fun fact, all it took to make a floppy disk double sided was a hole punch.

      It depended…. The media used to need to support using both sides. I actually ran into some single sided media in the early early days. Or you’d get “binned” equivalents where even though they had the magnetic layer on the opposite side, quite often they’d fail after use.
