Dave doesn't make any more misteaks than the rest of us.
I'm sorry that I replied before seeing that you had posted a correction.
It would appear that your "single density" Osborne diskette is
really a "double density" Osborne diskette.
But there are a few other possibilities. I have seen quite a few
single sided format diskettes that were reformatted from other
double sided formats, leaving a readily readable different format
on the back side.
