<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 5482014, member: 27832&quot;]Well, really, who&#039;s <i>ever</i> going to need more than 720 <i>thousand</i> bytes of storage at one time? It&#039;s not like you&#039;re going to be writing a <i>novel</i> on the thing...</p><p><br /></p><p>When I got my first disk drive for that TRS-80, it was single-sided, single-density. 80-odd KB on each diskette, but about 30K of that was taken up by system files, so -- 50K of user data per disk. You could double that if you bought a &quot;flippy&quot; drive that let you insert the disk in either orientation, or if you punched the right notch in a standard diskette, but you had to manually flip the diskette over.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
