Weren't the old style 5.25s 640K? > It's been so long . . . Here's the rundown: SSDD 8-sector: 160K This is all that was available in MS-DOS 1.0, IIRC. SSDD 9-sector: 180K DSDD 8-sector: 320K DSDD 9-sector: 360K This was the default starting with MS-DOS 2.1, IIRC. DSHD 15-sector: 1.2G (At least I think it was 15-sector...) Only the last two appear to be supported by FreeBSD 4.7, at least by default.
