Yes, but only if the operating system supports mounting those types of drives. Currently, NetBSD and FreeBSD do not. There is a Linux filesystem driver that will allow read/write access through Doublespaced and Drivespace 1.0 drives. More specifically, it supports mounting DOS 6.0 and 6.2 Doublespaced, DOS 6.22 Drivespaced, and Windows 95 Doublespaced compressed partitions (read and write access works fine, but write access is slow). It can be found at: ftp://sunsite.unc.
