   Glen,

    1. Are you sure that your Oz will only read single density? Most of the
ones that I've found have been upgraded to read both SD and DD.

   2. I have some Oz disks that I think are single density. I'll bring them
over when I come. If you find something that will copy/create SD disks let
me know!
