Here's how it works: Tracks #sectors/track 0-15 12 12*16=192 16-31 11 11*16=176 32-47 10 10*16=160 48-63 9 9*16 =144 64-79 8 8*16 =128 ---------------------------------- Total => 1600 The disk speed varies at five different speeds depending what track you are on. -- ------------- Jerry Penner ...!alberta!bode!jpenne
