I don't know if there is any truth to "they're not made to run backward";
they seem to be preety even in that regard to me.

What I don't want is the dust/dirt/whatever that collects on the inner
sleeve being spread back over the disk/head and eating a groove thru
the media.  Take a look at the back side of a diskette that has seen
heavy use in a single sided drive and tell me if you want that groove
occupying legit data areas.

If you need both sides, get double sided drives, -- unless you don't
put any value on your work/time.
