Standard CP/M (8" SSSD) was FM at 250K data transfer rate
Most designers of such made an effort to keep it versatile.
Let's hope that they included MFM and data transfer rates of:
125K (5.25" single density (TRS80 model I and Early Osborne))
250K
500K (8" double density and 3.5"/5.25" 'High' density)
maybe even:
300K (5.25" 360K double density in a 360RPM 1.2M drive)
1000K (2.8M)
