Yes and no. Jeff's emulator does support double sided disks under OS-9
but not Disk Basic. The problem with booting (DOS) is that the location
of track34 is not where the emulator expects it. To read a double sided
disk from the NitrOS-9 server under Jeff's emulator you must change byte
$16 on the disk image from 3 to 2. Then once into OS-9 or NitrOS-9 the
disks can be read.
