Old 01-13-2004
i only know about this from a windblows point of view, and that is that i reckon they use a fat16/32 file system on the disk. the file system part of the format is probably what is taking the space up. It could also be that the floppy disk has got 1.44 meg free, but some of that is taken up by the boot sector. in any case, ever 3.5 inch disk that i've ever formatted, that i can remember, comes up at about 1.38 meg.
