Although TRS-DOS didn't (until 6.0?, when TRS-DOS became rebranded LDOS), the after-market OS's supported DS and 80 track.
I don't remember how you needed to tell the OS that you had DS or 80 track.

But, once the OS knows, then the 55GFR, operating as a 55F, can, of course work.
Do you know how to tell your CP/M about DS and 80 track?

Montezuma Micro CP/M (which Bill mentioned in a previous post) has a CONFIG utility to tell it what kind of drive is installed (5" or 8", number of tracks, number of sides, step rate). After that, there are literally dozens of disk formats to choose from, TRS-80 and many others.
