Forgive me for asking a stupid question (but I went from CP/M --> Amiga --> PC, and the phonomena of 1.2MB came and went during my Amiga years) but is this block size appropriate for 1.2MB floppies as well?
I thought about that just about the time the modem fired off the last message. I have not been a DOS weenie since running 2.11 on my Seatle Computer Products Gazelle, a 10MHz 8086/8087 S-100 system. Yea, S-100. It seemed like a good idea at the time. :)
Anyway, as I recall, a 1.2 floppy uses 15 sectors/track and a 1.44 floppy uses 18 sectors/track. So that would be bs=15k or bs=18k.
