FowlerSubject: How many tracks on a minifloppy? To: ucivax!csuf!bytebug at UCB-C70 cc: RGF at MIT-MC, UCIVAX!UCBVAX!INFO-CPM at MIT-MC My TM-100-4's support 80 tracks per side (96tpi) for a total of 160 tracks per drive. TM-100-2 is double sided, fourty tracks per side, and TM-100-1 is single sided, 40 tracks per side. The # of tracks per side is determined by the drive; I've heard that 35-track shugarts can do 36 or 37, but beyond that the stepper motor tracking gets ugly. --Ron Fowler
