Track densities of 5" and 3.5" disks are 96 and 135 tpi, respectively. > When's the last time you saw new modes for 5.25" floppies?

I know following disks: 1 8"/5" HD double side 1024 bytes/sector 8 sectors/track, 77 cylinders 2 5" DD double side 512 bytes/sector 8 sectors/track, 80 cylinders 3 5" DD double side 512 bytes/sector 8 sectors/track, 80 cylinders 4 3.5" DD double side 512 bytes/sector 8 sectors/track, 80 cylinders 5 8"/5" HD double side 256 bytes/sector 26 sectors/track, 77 cylinders 6 3.5" HD double side 256 bytes/sector 26 sectors/track, 77 cylinders 7 5" DD double side 256 bytes/sector 16 sectors/track, 77 cylinders and so on (including DEC PDP-11 :-)). I'm trying to add 1, 2, 3 and 4. -----------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ KATO Takenori | FreeBSD | Dept. Earth Planet.
