69k for a 1.4MB disk! I was ripped off! : ( It is running CP/M
1.4. I have the sources if anyone is interested.
This is what it says when it boots up:
TARBELL 24K CPM V1.4 OF 7-20-79
2SIO MINIFLOPPY VERSION.
HOW MANY DISKS? 2

Were single sided single density 5.25" disks ~70k? The 3.5" drive
does sound different than it usually does. : )
Don't know about CPM, but SSSD (FM) disks on Atari's were around 90K.
I also believe if you are formatting the 3.5" drive at SD, you best be using
720K 3.5" media... HD media will probably not work well, or not retain data
(much the same problem as using non HD formats on HD 5.25" disks).
I know I did SSSD on 720K 3.5" media on my Atari using my ATR8000.
Worked fine.
