with it is 800k using
80tr/2sided DD.
IF somebody were to refer to "unformatted capacity", then 80 track 2 head
DD (300 RPM recorded at 250K bps) could be called "1 M".
The same way that Next calls their 2.8M "4 M"
(and 1.4M is 2M unformatted)
It used to be quite common for diskettes to be labelled with "unformatted
capacity".
