I suppose you forgot when Z80 with 64k RAM were popular and so
expensive (their prices dropped later by order of magnitude), floppy
drives used were typically one-side 8 sector per track - 160k, and
previously SINGLE DENSITY floppies were used which had half of the
capacity. Also, seems the old Z80 had 40x25 displays.

PS: I removed alt.sources from newsgroup list. It was TWICE.
