I read last night that to format a 3.5" double density diskette to 400K single sided in an 800K double sided drive or to format a 3.5" double density disketter to 400K in a 1440K double sided drive, hold down the <Option> key (while inserting a blank, unformatted / uninitialised diskette in the drive). You will need to using a sufficiently old release of the operating system on a sufficiently old Macintosh at the time.

Hm.  Yesterday I just used my Mac Plus to format some disks.  They are double density disks.  When I inserted the blank ones it gave me the option to format them either single sided or double sided.  I chose single side and they formatted to just under 400k.  Those will work in a 400k drive, right?
