When I look at a floppy disk icon (even the RAM DISK) using Workbench's pull-down Info command, I see "Bytes per Block: 488" where in Info V1.2 I used to see "Bytes per Block: 512." Now, I'm sure the number hasn't changed, but why has Info? Am I the only one who has this problem, and if so, what can be done about it? Any and all feedback appreciated. Thanks much, --karl Karl Thiessen -- 128-2ex@web.berkeley.edu -- Magic lies in all gifts.

In my previous article I write:
>Karl Thiessen -- 128-2ex@web.berkeley.edu -- Magic lies in all gifts.
Obviously, to match the header, that should be 128a-2ex@web.berkeley.edu.

Yes, you are the only one. The 488 figure is the correct one. The 512 one is a vicious lie. (ARP tells the truth, but C= does not.) The difference is due to the WELL KNOWN fact that the old filing system has some overhead per sector, which means only 488 bytes of actual data are stored on a sector where 512 of them would fit. This is fixed in the new filing system. (Try the two programs on a hard drive using the new filing system) (PLEASE! no one else respond!) ------------------------------------------------------ Quantum _\/_ 545 Sycamore CellBlock 207 Bruce (6502 RULES!)
