1. No. For an obvious and good reason.

We're talking about 5,25 inch floppies. It was easy to insert those in any way imaginable including several wrong ones ;)

		Yep, my memory was bad. In my defense, so were 5.25" floppies. Literally the worst.

1. (edited) Yes, but you couldn't run it.

1.a. ...unless you altered the shape of the floppy.

You absolutely could put in disks upside down.

		I recall doing this on my BBC micro with 5.25" disks. In fact, some disks were deliberately designed for this, and had a 'notch' (which you would cover with some tape to make read-only) on both the left and right, so you could set the read-only state for each side individually. The version of Elite that I played had the standard version on one side, and a version for the "BBC Master" (which had an extra 64KiB RAM) which had more colours than the standard version, on the other.
