On 5.25" diskettes punching a notch to enable use of the second side

First, the index hole was commonly unused on 5.25" systems so it
didn't matter that the index hole was in the wrong place when the

It's my experience that the index hole is used, and does matter, on pretty
much all 5.25" systems except Apple ][s.
Commodore drives didn't use it either.
