Well, we tried to keep the distribution on 35 track single sided  
images until it just finally got too big to fit on that sized disk.   
Making a set of 35 track single sided disk images would really be a  
PITA for us.   As you noted in your email, there are already a lot of  
disk images to choose from, and 40 track DSDD is the minimum image  
size we distribute in the NitrOS-9 Project for those reasons.

I thought it was, but I'll take your word for it.  Simple enough to  
add, I may get to that sometime this weekend.
