The 1541 is single-sided. You will not be able to format it DSDD.

I have heard of MFM disk tools for Commodores (Big Blue Reader) but I
have never used one. I've always resorted to serial transfer between
Commies and PeeCees (that and archiving 1541/4040 disks with a 1541
and an X1541 cable over a PeeCee parallel port under DOS).
