Rumor has it that Richard Erlacher may have mentioned these words:
I just wanted to keep them out of the discussion, since
there are "720K"
diskettes in the 5-1/4" IBM-world with which they could be confused. I
don't believe that they actually format to a 720K capacity in applications
outside the "IBM"-PC world. They would, I guess, if one formatted them with
9 sectors of 512 bytes per track.
Or how about 18 sectors of 256 bytes per track.... like on my CoCos (1 360K
5.25 & 2 720K 3.5" drives made for a *lot* of storage 10 years ago... :-)
