I've always been curious why 1.44 FDDs and Sony 1.44MB disk drives often say "2MB" on them. 2MB is 2048K, which would have been quite nice to have...
EDIT: Doing that 1.78MB stuff would be just the ticket for flopticals...oh wait they did to that :)
2MB I believe, was the "unformatted" capacity of the 1.44MB. So 2MB is a totally useless value, as opposed to the mearly annoying "metric" vs binary HDD sizes.
