The hardware doesn't support it in the controller inside the DEC disk drive. DEC expected you to buy media from them. You can do it with third-party controllers like Qbus Sigma, DSD, or MTI using standard Shugart interface disk drives. Some also support "RX03" double-sided drives. You could also clone a formatted double-density disks with a flux-level reader/writer board.
