Re: IBM Disk Space Report

[Luis Rodriguez <luisro58@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jerry,

1.44MB is the capacity of Sony's 3 1/2" diskette. The S/36 diskette could
be, depending on its format (FORMAT, FORMAT2) either 0.98MB or 1.2MB
(assuming 1MB = 1,000 bytes).

Of course there were always dual magazine readers, so you could have up to
20 diskettes loaded at once!! Talk about progress... :-)

Regards,

Luis Rodriguez
