I'm using a bunch of floppies to carry data between various Macs: II and SE
under 6.0.7, and II and a Plus under 7. Ever since I installed System 7, I
noticed that some of the disks after being initialized show contents of 1K
instead of the usual 7K, and correspondingly higher available space.
*Sometimes* (but not always) using a Disk First Aid on such a floppy helps
restore it to the good old self.

I wouldn't bother anyone about it, since I haven't lost any data; but it's
strange, and I wonder if I'm inviting disaster? Has anyone else noticed
this?
