There are two common track density 48 and 96 tpi or otherwise

40 and 80 cylinders. there are more tracks/cylinders to the radial inch.
Also the head width is narrower by two for the 96tpi.
Recording density is experssed in FRPI Flux Reversals per Inch.
The problem with floppies is that for 5.25 you had: I know that all very well, it's not to me that you
have to explain it ;-)
Although it would be easy to assume that she were admonishing you, keep in
mind that she was probably intending merely to summarize and make the
discussion comprehensive. I interpreted her remarks, in spite of using
yours as an intro, as being to the entire list, and attempting to make a
thorough discussion, rather than a specific item reply.
Also, she has no way of knowing what you do or don't know. We need to
avoid being offended when somebody underestimates our existing knowledge.
