AMSDOS is designed for single sided drives. This means it will only read 1 side of a double sided disc.
The standard AMSDOS format is 178K per side.
For 5.25" drives:
* You can cut another write-protect notch on the other side. Then you can turn the disc over and insert it the other way up. With standard AMSDOS format you now have 2 * 178K for each disc.
For both drives:
* Use another DOS on CPC, one which can read/write 2 sided discs (ParaDOS, ROMDOS etc). The disc formats supported by the other DOS each have their own capacity.* Install a side switch. This gives you manual control over which side is accessed. With standard AMSDOS format you now have 2 * 178K for each disc.
