I've drilled a couple of discs, originally SINGLE-SIDED (256K) discs for
an HP 150, and I'm getting about 90% use from them -- in other words, on
a 1.44 M floppy, about 1.3 M of usable space.  And that's on a used, 
single-sided disc. 

HOWEVER:  I only use such discs for files I can afford to lose.

What use have I for disclaimers?  Nobody listens to me anyway.  But if I
had one, it would say that I speak only for myself.  Mostly TO myself, 
but what the heck...
