(At last! A use for my floppy drive!)
I formatted a floppy and while I get 1.38 MB free, that is 1,457,664 bytes. Are you sure that there is a problem?
I was able to nudge the free space a little higher with:
format A: /Q /A:2048
That gives me: 1,462,272 bytes or 1.39 MB.

SYNOPSIS
volcheck [-v] [-i secs] [-t secs] pathname

drive.
The default action is to volcheck all checkable media managed by volume management.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-i secs Set the frequency of device checking to secs seconds. The default is 2 seconds. The minimum frequency is 1 second.
-t secs Check the named device(s) for the next secs seconds. The maximum number of seconds allowed is 28800, which is 8 hours. The fre-
quency of checking is specified by -i. There is no default total time.
-v Verbose.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
pathname The path name of a media device.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: A sample of the volcheck command.
The following example
example% volcheck -v /dev/diskette

asks Volume Management to examine the floppy drive for new media.
The following example

WARNINGS
Due to a hardware limitation in many floppy drives, the act of checking for media causes mechanical action in the floppy drive. Continu-
ous polling of the floppy drive will cause the drive to wear out. It is recommended that polling the drive only be performed during periods
of high use.
