I've got them!!!!!!

My Rodime 100 formats to 104Meg. Maybe that is what the "plus" in its name
stands for.  :)

I wouldn't worry about it too much, the value given is the unformatted density
without a directory or anything present and is about the maximum one could
ever hope to put on a disk without sync bits or whatnot. I assume that you
want to format the drive?  This takes space to make sure everything works
correctly. 

Personally I think marketing guy named the drive, and engineer would be more
honest. However you would be surprised at how many people will buy a 105Meg
drive over a 100Meg drive given that both are the same size. Personally I like
Rodime's tactic better, give more that you think you paid for. Unfortunately
it is only known after the sale. Until now that is.  :)
