With all the PD disk formatters available which enable you to format a floppy in a non-standard way (i.e. 10 sectors per track, 84 tracks per side) which gives more than 720K per drive, does anyone have any advice or warnings about doing this ? An extra 80K or so per disk seems a good idea but they must have settled on 720K for a reason (?). Any comments ? Francis Stevens stevens@prl.philips.co.uk
