You've forgotten the original DOS 1.x 160K SS and 320K DS. I wonder if the
conservative 8-sector approach on the part of IBM/Microsoft was the
miserable track record of the original (IIRC, Shugart) drives. The one
that came with my original 5150 eventually died when an inductor in the
motor tach circuit opened up. I replaced it eventually.
Cheers,
